Taking advantage of the warm, safe and welcoming environment at JDT Music Academy, sessions are designed to help participants feel comfortable and confident enough to explore their creativity through music, singing and dancing.

Who is it for?
The workshop is designed for up to 10 adults with learning difficulties and physical disabilities and their support staff where required.

Our Inclusive Music Sessions offer a calm, dedicated sensory space where children can explore, create, and express themselves through music in their own way.

With a wide range of instruments and child-led exploration, sessions are carefully tailored to suit each child’s individual needs. Music becomes a tool for communication, confidence, emotional regulation, social connection, and sensory discovery.

Delivered by experienced SEND music specialists with a deep understanding of sensory needs, these sessions are suitable for all ages.

Get in touch to find out more or book a taster session.

❤️ Looking back on our 25th Anniversary Showcase Extravaganza, we're still incredibly proud of what our students, staff, and families achieved together.

With over 100 students performing across two sold-out shows, it was a celebration of music, hard work, and the amazing community that makes JDT Music Academy what it is.

For this video, we sat down with some of our students and staff to hear their thoughts on the day. One word kept coming up again and again: family.

We hope you enjoy hearing their stories and getting a glimpse into the people behind JDT Music Academy.

🎥 Watch below and let us know your favourite Showcase memory in the comments! ❤️
