Music has the power to engage, inspire and connect learners in ways that few other activities can.
At Serenity Sensory Music, I provide sensory music sessions that support emotional wellbeing, communication, creativity and engagement for children and young people across a wide range of educational settings.
Drawing on over a decade of experience as a qualified teacher specialising in SEND, sessions are carefully designed to meet the needs of the pupils attending, creating meaningful musical experiences that are inclusive, accessible and enjoyable for all.
Supporting Learners Through Music
Every learner is unique.
Some pupils thrive through movement and creativity.
Some need opportunities to regulate emotions and reduce anxiety.
Others benefit from activities that encourage communication, confidence and social interaction.
Sensory music provides a flexible and engaging way to support a wide range of developmental, emotional and educational needs.
Sessions can complement existing wellbeing initiatives, enrichment programmes and SEND provision while creating opportunities for pupils to experience success through music.
Suitable for a Range of Educational Settings
Sessions can be adapted for:
• Mainstream Primary Schools
• Mainstream Secondary Schools
• SEND Schools
• Specialist Resource Bases
• Alternative Provision Settings
• Post-16 Education
• Home Education Groups
• Holiday and Enrichment Programmes
Whether working with an individual pupil, a small group or a whole class, sessions are tailored to suit the needs of the learners involved.
Specialist SEND Experience
As a qualified teacher specialising in SEND, I have been supporting children and young people with additional needs since 2014.
Throughout my career, I have worked with pupils aged 4 to 19, including those with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), across a wide range of educational settings.
This experience allows me to create sessions that are carefully adapted to meet individual learning, communication and sensory needs.
Depending on the needs of the pupils attending, sessions may incorporate:
• Visual prompts and imagery
• PECs symbols
• Makaton signing
• Simple colour-coded notation
• Musical cues and routines
• Sensory resources
• Flexible communication approaches
My aim is always to create an environment where pupils feel safe, successful and able to participate in a way that works for them.
What Sessions May Include
Activities are adapted according to age, ability and learning objectives.
Sessions may include:
• Instrument exploration
• Rhythm and percussion activities
• Singing and vocal work
• Musical storytelling
• Improvisation and creative music making
• Sensory exploration
• Movement to music
• Communication-focused activities
• Emotional wellbeing and relaxation experiences
• Themed sensory musical journeys
Every session is designed to encourage active participation, engagement and enjoyment.
Supporting SEND Learners
As a qualified SEND teacher, I have extensive experience supporting children and young people with a wide range of additional needs.
Sessions can be adapted for learners with:
• Autism
• ADHD
• Learning disabilities
• Communication difficulties
• Sensory processing differences
• Physical disabilities
• Social, emotional and mental health needs
• Profound and multiple learning disabilities
• Complex support needs
The focus is always on creating positive, accessible experiences where every learner can participate in a way that works for them.
Supporting Emotional Wellbeing in Schools
Emotional wellbeing is at the heart of everything I do.
Many pupils face challenges that can affect their confidence, emotional regulation, communication and ability to engage with learning.
Through sensory music, pupils are given opportunities to:
• Explore and express emotions safely
• Develop self-awareness
• Build trusting relationships
• Improve confidence and self-esteem
• Reduce feelings of anxiety and stress
• Develop communication skills
• Experience success through creativity
For some pupils, music provides a valuable outlet for emotions that may otherwise be difficult to express through words alone.
Sessions can be delivered as one-off experiences or as part of a targeted intervention programme designed to support individual wellbeing goals.
Benefits for Pupils
Sensory music sessions may help pupils to:
• Build confidence
• Improve self-expression
• Develop communication skills
• Strengthen social interaction
• Explore creativity
• Support emotional regulation
• Improve engagement
• Experience success
• Develop listening and attention skills
• Enhance wellbeing
Most importantly, sessions provide opportunities for pupils to feel valued, included and successful.
Themed Sensory Musical Journeys
One of the things that makes Serenity Sensory Music unique is the use of immersive sensory themes.
Each session can take pupils on a multi-sensory musical journey, helping them explore the world around them through music, sound, movement, imagery and sensory experiences.
Popular themes include:
• Space
• Ocean
• Jungle
• Weather
• Seasons
• Woodland
• Mountains
• Safari
• Pirates
• Festivals and Celebrations
• Relaxation
• Christmas
• Halloween
• Bonfire Night
• Diwali
• Pride
Sessions can also be linked to curriculum topics, seasonal events or specific areas of learning, creating meaningful cross-curricular experiences that support engagement and curiosity.
If your school has a particular theme or topic in mind, bespoke sessions can also be created.
