We are OmniMusic. Our name means music for all, and that’s exactly what we believe in.
Who we are
We are an accessible music charity based in Greater Manchester.
We deliver accessible music sessions to Disabled children and adults in partnership with local schools and community groups. We’re always developing low-cost music tech to help our participants make the most of their creativity.
Why we do it
We believe everyone has the right to be part of culture and express themselves creatively.
Our work helps those who may not have agency and control in many areas of their life to access their own creativity. Our joyous sessions also impact participants’ wider lives, through development of social skills.
Who we help
Our participants often have complex co-existing health conditions and sensory differences.
Most of our work is delivered in specialist community and education settings and our participants are often on the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Register and/or have an Educational Health Care Plan (EHCP).
How we work
We use a combination of traditional and adapted musical instruments in our sessions.
We develop and use AMT or assistive music technology (also known as accessible music technology) to allow even those participants with the most restricted movement to access their creative ability and find their own voice.
“Nobody had ever even heard him speak, let alone sing! It’s like he comes alive with you!”
