Soundbeam Training
Soundbeam has become a familiar and popular piece of equipment in special schools, both for its ability to create positive opportunities for students to truly develop a sense of control and enjoyment, and for its simplicity of operation. The smallest movement of any player creates sound, providing a feedback from which the player can learn by exploration. As well as providing access to musical creativity, Soundbeam can help the individual to develop a sense of control that has an impact beyond the sphere of music.

The sense of creating sound and exploring that sound through movement, both alone and alongside others, can be a stimulating and motivating experience, impacting on the well-being of each student. Once understood, it is possible for students to develop their exploration of Soundbeam independently and as a shared experience.

Soundbeam – initial training
Soundabout offers staff training in the setting up and use of Soundbeam 2 and Desktop Soundbeam specifically for the benefit of young people with physical disabilities and PMLD.

Soundbeam – extended training
This training package will be designed to suit the experience of a small group of staff who have had previous training and wish to build upon their current skills and knowledge.
