"I Can Play Music" Figurenotes Conference on 26th November at Glasgow City Halls

Drake Music Scotland provides opportunities for people with a wide range of disabilities to learn, compose and perform music independently.

Over the last two years, we have been enabling children and adults, many with learning support needs, to achieve success in music using the new notation system Figurenotes, which uses colour and shape to represent musical notes.

The "I Can Play Music" Figurenotes Conference on 26th November at Glasgow City Halls is the culmination of this work, celebrating and sharing the success we have had with this system and inspiring people about its potential for their own education practice.

Full details about Drake Music Scotland and the conference are on our website at www.drakemusicscotland.org.
