Extract

The Drake Research Project (Music for Disabled People) is a registered charity which has links in London with Eltham College Sixth Form and the music departments at Deptford Green School, Charlton Park Special School and the City University. It is also associated with the Music Technology Group in the University of York, where a research programme is now in progress to develop new technological means to enable disabled children to take part in music making. On 24 November 1989 DRP held its inaugural seminar at Maria Assumpta House, Kensington, London. The seminar included a review of the Project's objectives, reports and demonstrations in the field of music and disability, and an open discussion which raised important questions about multi-disciplinary collaboration and the development of music software/ hardware for special needs users. This article summarizes the principal points to emerge from the seminar sessions.
