Music to Young Ears aims to examine current levels of provision for deaf children across the Music4U region of York and the Humber, to identify examples of regional and national best practice and to stimulate awareness and discussion of the subject.
The report’s key recommendation emphasises understanding of and sensitivity towards the perspective and circumstances of each child.
The research also provides a series of recommendations on how activities, settings and technology can be used to improve musical provision for deaf children. These include the importance of regular group sessions over a sustained period of time, flexibility and adaptability when working with deaf children as their experiences of music will differ, and of triangulated evaluation in which appraisal is undertaken by children, parents and people supporting delivery.
