⭐️ New Starcatchers' podcast episode ⭐️
Our latest episode is now LIVE! We're joined by artist Lucy Drever who shares simple, accessible ways to explore music and sound with young children. Drawing on her experience of leading inclusive community projects, she offers practical ideas for adapting to the needs of both the children and the environments you work in.
She also talk about overcoming adult fears around music, and how shared musical experiences can build connection, support communication and benefit children with additional support needs.
