Summer School Day Four: Using music for communication and play

Bamboozle’s Summer School offers a week of one-day training courses running from Monday 3rd August to Friday 7th August. Join us at the Curve Theatre in Leicester for a series of inspiring, hands-on sessions – plus one outdoor course held at Rowley Fields Allotments in Leicester.  

These courses are particularly suitable for artists, practitioners, teachers, teaching assistants, support staff and SENCOs. Each day provides practical techniques, creative approaches, and fresh ideas you can take straight back into your setting. 

Day Four: Using music for communication and play  

Thursday 6th August, 10am – 5pm @ Curve Theatre  

This one day course will give you the opportunity to experience The Bamboozle Approach and is designed for participants of all musical abilities – no expertise necessary!

This course will explore: 

• Music as a powerful way to connect, communicate, and be creative.

• How music can express feelings and ideas without words, helping learners explore topics and supporting different ways of understanding. 

• How sound can boost interest, imagination, and participation – especially for those who respond best to sensory or non verbal learning. 

• Inclusive, hands-on music activities that support personal expression and shared creativity within a group. 

• Simple, practical ways to use music with confidence (even without any musical background) to enhance learning and build stronger connections.
