Welcome

Welcome to the online assets that accompany the book Sounds Right: Resources for Inclusive Music Making, published by Trinity College London and available at https://www.trinitycollege.com/qualifications/music/books.

Sounds Right is a multimedia resource that is intended to enable teachers, therapists and other music practitioners to celebrate that universal musicality that is inherent in children, young people and adults across the spectrums of ability and need. It provides strategies and materials to facilitate inclusive engagement with music and – potentially – to have learners’ achievements formally recognised in the Trinity Awards and Certificates in Musical Development: https://www.trinitycollege.com/qualifications/music/awards-and-certificates-in-musical-development.

There are almost 300 freely downloadable sound files that supplement the text and are designed to promote reactive, proactive and interactive engagement with music.

There are 10 sets of tracks. Four of these pertain to the strategies that are intended for sound-makers, pattern-makers, motif-makers and music-makers, and one set each for the six projects: Upon the Stair, Noodlin’, Holiday Calypso, And Now, Robot Boogie and Hush, Lullay.

Written materials

Four of the projects have accompanying written materials, including scores, that are printed in the Sounds Right book. These are Noodlin’, Holiday Calypso, And Now and Robot Boogie.

The written materials pertaining to the other two of the projects, Upon the Stair and Hush Lullay, are freely available for download here:
