OKMT (Otakar Kraus Music Trust)

The Trust helps children and young people with additional needs or disabilities to play a musical instrument or sing and perform in public, They attend weekly 45-minute sessions with a qualified and experienced music therapist, who communicates with the child through Makaton signing, visual effects, simple language and music, using improvisation on keyboard and percussion to help the child to engage with her and take part in a musical activity. We now have 78 pupils at OK Music School and hold 4 public concerts every year (2 in summer and 2 at Christmas).

Museum of London

Trustees are glad to hear of the growth of the museum’s access programmes, new sensory bags, and a dedicated area for access and SEND programming to our community newsletter, as well as tailored pre-visit emails and your responsiveness to feedback.

Trustees hope that a grant awarded will help further the impact of the Quieter Times offer and increase the number of children who will benefit.

The development of awareness of the Open Sound project is good news, as is widening of the pool of artistic personnel working on Open Sound, so that the participating young people with SEND in SE London have the experience of being led by different voices, and to ensure the sustainability of the project in case of illness or unavailability of our current workshop leaders making it much more sustainable.
