Soundabout

Who we are

Soundabout is a music education charity which uses music to unlock the potential of people with complex needs, and empowers parents, teachers and carers to do the same.We work across the UK in a variety of settings such as SEND schools, early years’ environments and care services and run a network of inclusive choirs which celebrate that everyone has their own way of sharing their voice.

We have a small core team who all work remotely and a group of freelance practitioners who are the creative force of our delivery. We are looking to expand our pool of freelance practitioners to help meet the demand for our work.
