Sound Therapy

At Learning Disability Today on Wednesday we ran a draw for Unlocking Music software, a webcam and training. After all the problems with TV companies we didn’t want to be accused of corruption so we asked one of the exhibitors to make the draw and we filmed him doing it, including a close-up of the winning card.

That was St. Margarets School in Tadworth, Surrey - a wonderful home for the software. The residential school is situated at the Childrens Trust site and educates children and young people with profound and multiple learning difficulties aged 5 to 19 years. Accredited as “outstanding” by Ofsted in its last inspection, it’s a beacon for tried and new methods.

We’re delighted that St Margarets has won, particularly as the Unlocking Music software has been used by a teacher in Hastings for the past two years. It’s been very effective in engaging children in music lessons who are usually difficult to reach. The music teacher has written a manual of how she uses it so we’ll be able to pass that on to St Margarets.

If you’d like to know more about the software please go to our new website where there’s some film of the software being used with the dancing squares. For more information about products contact us at 01424 439192 or on enquiries@decoda.org
