Music sessions for SEND pupils

Supporting Learning, Communication, and Confidence Through Music

At Send and Sensory, our music sessions for SEND pupils provide a supportive and engaging environment where children and young people can explore music in a way that feels enjoyable, inclusive, and meaningful.

Music sessions are designed to support communication, emotional expression, social interaction, and sensory regulation, while building confidence and enjoyment through shared musical experiences.

We offer music sessions for SEND pupils in Kilburn, Walthamstow, and surrounding areas.

What Are Music Sessions for SEND Pupils?

Music sessions for SEND pupils use structured and flexible musical activities to support learning, development, and wellbeing. Sessions may include singing, rhythm work, movement, and the use of accessible instruments, all adapted to meet individual needs.

The focus is not on musical ability, but on participation, engagement, and connection through music.

Our music sessions are suitable for children and young people who may experience:

• Communication and language difficulties
• Sensory processing differences
• Social interaction challenges
• Emotional regulation difficulties
• Anxiety or low confidence
• Additional learning needs

We support pupils with a wide range of needs, including neurodevelopmental differences and complex learning profiles.

Our Music Sessions Approach

At Send and Sensory, we take a child centred and inclusive approach to music. Sessions are structured yet flexible, allowing pupils to engage at their own pace and in ways that feel comfortable.

We use familiar routines, repetition, and sensory aware strategies to create a safe and supportive environment. Our practitioners work closely with families, schools, and other professionals to ensure sessions align with wider support goals.

• Singing and vocal activities
• Rhythm and movement based activities
