Count Me In! Developing and evaluating resources for musicians working
with children and young people with severe or profound learning
difficulties to engage with the standard repertoires of different
musical cultures using the Sounds of Intent framework of musical
development
Applications are invited for a fully funded, three-year PhD to be
hosted jointly by the Centre for Learning, Teaching and Human
Development in the School of Education the University of Roehampton,
and Live Music Now, https://www.livemusicnow.org.uk, which is a
leading national charity offering interactive music sessions with a
wide range of people, which enhance health and well-being, improve
communication, and promote development. The studentship will begin in
October 2022, with a six-month initial research-skills fully funded
training programme prior to the commencement of the doctoral research.
Count Me In! is an internationally innovative project that explores
how children and young people with severe and profound disabilities
experience music, and investigates the strategies that musicians can
use to make their creative interventions accessible. Count Me In! is
underpinned by the thinking set out in the Sounds of Intent framework
of musical development www.soundsofintent.app/beta. It will use the
principle of ‘musical deconstruction’, enabling musicians to
disaggregate musical structures and present them discretely, making
pieces accessible at different music-developmental levels.
Subsequently, ‘reconstruction’ is possible, facilitating inclusion in
musical activities across the spectrum of neurodiversity.
The research will entail running a series of practical interventions
using musicians from Live Music Now working with 12 severely or
profoundly disabled pupils in each of six special schools for a year
(72 in total). Developmentally appropriate resources will be created
in partnership with the musicians and teachers, trialled, and their
impact on pupils’ capacity to engage with the resources will be
analysed using the Sounds of Intent framework. Modifications to the
materials will be made, as required, in a cyclical research process
with three phases (one per term). Beyond the research project, the
resources will be made freely available online, potentially
transforming access to music as art, across a range of cultures, for
children and young people with severe or profound learning
difficulties.
It is anticipated that the student will spend around three days a week
at the University of Roehampton, (virtually or in person) and two days
a week as a member of Live Music Now’s national team.
Applicants should have a 2:1 or above at bachelor’s level or
equivalent and distinction at master’s level, both in a music or
music-related field. Advanced music performance and analysis skills
are desirable, and the capacity for critical reflection. Previous
experience of working through music with disabled children or young
people is desirable though not essential. We particularly welcome
candidates who are under-represented in the cultural sector, including
those who have experienced disabling barriers or who have experienced
racism.
The successful candidate will be supervised by Professor Adam
Ockelford and Professor Lorella Terzi at the University of Roehampton,
and Dr Ros Hawley at Live Music Now.
