Sensory Sounds in Nature was a sensory music project for children and their families. From July until November 2021, we hosted weekly sessions at Wicksteed Park or Kingswood Neighbourhood Centre exploring our outside world through nature's sounds, smells, textures and sights to create brand new music together. The new music is now created and available to enjoy further down this page.
The project was supported by Youth Music using public funding from the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
