Taking Sounds of Intent to the Netherlands!
Sounds of Intent's founder, Prof Adam Ockelford, travelled to the Netherlands last week to continue providing education on the Sounds of Intent framework and principles.
Adam gave the keynote for a professional development event organised by Méér Muziek in de Klas (More Music in the Classroom) and Gehrels Music Education, speaking about the innate musicality in all of us, and its potential for creating truly inclusive educational experiences.
"Music is the means for inclusion. There are more and more neurodivergent children and pupils with special support needs in regular education. Music is a way to get everyone involved in group activities. To make that possible, we need to understand how music develops in all children. That's what Sounds of Intent can be used for."
At Sounds of Intent, we are pushing for the adoption of the Sounds of Intent framework as widely as possible. It's wonderful to receive these opportunities to travel with the research!
