What we do

Three ways we make music happen

Across physical, sensory, cognitive and neurodivergent disabilities — every session and event is shaped around the participants, not a programme.

One-to-one Tuition

Professional musician tutors working with each participant at their own pace, using instruments and support equipment adapted to their individual needs.

Group Workshops

Sociable, hands-on sessions using adaptive instruments. Drumming circles, songwriting, improvisation — open to everyone, no experience required.

Live Performances

Real stages, real audiences. Every participant gets the opportunity to perform — and to feel what that means for their confidence and sense of self.

He walked off that stage a completely different person. I have never seen him so proud of himself. MusTPAD gave him that.
