MUSIC MEETS ACCESS

BREAKING BARRIERS IN MUSIC EDUCATION

Jay reflects on a transformative week from September 15th to 21st 2024, where he delivered a series of impactful lectures organized by Adam Bell, Research Chair in Music, Inclusion & Accessibility at Western University, Canada.

 

Engaging educators, students, community leaders, and policymakers, these lectures began at Western University and extended to various campuses across the University of Toronto.

 

Jay emphasized the critical importance of accessibility in music making, showcasing the significant advancements made by leading music tech companies in creating accessible equipment for differently-abled individuals.

 

Each session sparked stimulating discussions, allowing participants to interact with the equipment and address pressing questions about supporting differently-abled students in diverse classroom settings.
