Music for Education & Wellbeing Podcast: Working with disabled people and those with additional needs – Elle Williams, one-to-one music tutor

In this new podcast, Anita Holford, co-editor of Music Education Works, is talking with Elle Williams, a classically-trained guitarist who previously worked as a music tutor in mainstream schools, and now specialises solely in one-to-one music lessons with disabled people and those with additional needs.

We talk about:

• the lack of music tutors working one-to-one with disabled people, particularly young people with moderate or profound and multiple disabilities
• the tendency for provision in special needs schools to be music therapy or group music-making
• and where tutors can find information and guidance to broaden their skills to reach more young people.
• Elle also shares three helpful tips for fellow music tutors
