Rethinking engagement in music: supporting neurodivergent learners
10 November 2026
Join Sing Up and SEND inclusion specialist Jess Meredith (Differing Minds) for an interactive CPD session exploring practical ways to make music lessons more accessible and engaging for all pupils, including those with diagnosed and undiagnosed neurodivergence
Join SEND inclusion specialist Jess Meredith (Differing Minds) for an interactive CPD session exploring practical ways to make music lessons more accessible and engaging for all pupils, including those with diagnosed and undiagnosed neurodivergence.

What we’ll cover

This session will help teachers move from ‘trying to get everyone to engage in the same way’ to confidently enabling different forms of participation, using music as a flexible tool and the music classroom as a flexible environment. It will focus on the most common forms of neurodiversity (ADHD, ASD, sensory and processing difficulties).

Teachers will explore:

The basic ‘checklist’ of SEND inclusivity
What engagement actually looks like for different learners
How to maintain high expectations without rigid behaviour models
How to adapt existing music activities (rather than creating new ones)
The webinar will be facilitated by Emilie Bels, Sing Up's Hub Partnerships Manager, who will draw on her experience as a vocal leader and educator to connect these ideas to real-world music teaching.

Pricing:
Non-member schools | £20.00
Music hubs (Includes spots for up to 5 participants) | £30.00
