SEND Music Conference
Wednesday, 24th September 2025
Selby Town Hall
Join us for a day of inspiration, practical learning and inclusive practice at the SEND Music Conference 2025, hosted by AMP in partnership with North Yorkshire and York Music Hubs.
Designed for teachers working in both specialist SEND and mainstream settings, the day is split into two tailored sessions to explore high-quality, accessible music education for all learners.
Morning (specialist settings) will include sessions exploring accessible instruments (including Soundbeam and Cosmo) and sharing best practice, led by Andrew Cleaton, Made With Music and Ben Sellers.
Afternoon (mainstream settings) will include sessions exploring inclusive music activities in mainstream settings for disabled children and young people, Deaf students and those with additional needs, led by Sean Chandler, Made With Music and Ben Sellers.
