"It Calms My Soul": How Hannah Found Joy, New Skills, And An Income Pathway Through An Inclusive Music Programme
At Music Solutions, we believe that the power of music is universal, and when combined with technology, it opens up a world of possibilities for everyone. We recently spoke with a student from our digital music production program, and their experience beautifully encapsulates the inclusive and transformative environment we strive to create.
Here’s a look at how our program is helping students find their voice, learn valuable skills, and discover a path to professional and personal fulfillment.
A Community of Acceptance and Fun
The journey into digital music can seem daunting, but our student highlights that the most immediate takeaway is the positive atmosphere.
“I felt that the experience when I enter into this program it’s really fun, very light-hearted, and I find that the community is very accepting, so I felt that I could be myself and I could play the instruments that I get to play and experiment as well.”
Our focus is on creating a supportive space where creativity can thrive. Students are encouraged to experiment and dive into the practical application of music, whether learning a physical instrument or exploring the digital landscape.
Mastering the Digital Stage
One of the program’s core strengths is teaching the technological side of music creation—a critical skill in today’s world. Many students love music but have never known how to move from listener to producer.
By applying technology to music, our students are equipped with modern skills that are highly relevant. As the student notes, “music has proven a lot that it brings joy to people,” and we provide the tools to create that joy.
Inclusion is Key
A key mission of Music Solutions is inclusion. Our student specifically endorsed the program’s suitability for individuals with special needs, particularly those on the autism spectrum.
“This program is really quite suitable for for those with autism because… they are able to at least understand some instructions… and they’re able to at least coordinate with their hands and mind slowly but progressively. So I find that yes, it’s still suitable and it should be welcome, it shouldn’t be closed.”
This success is made possible by our dedicated and skilled instructors. We pride ourselves on having “teachers who are also trained in… providing for the special needs,” ensuring a patient, tailored, and successful learning experience for all.
From Hobby to Income
The skills learned in the program have tangible, real-world benefits that go beyond the classroom. For our student, the program has provided a path to potential earning and a significant boost to well-being.
“I can use these skills wise to do home-based music production and of course, I can earn some income with it… I really want to use this as a hobby and as a step where I can, you know, have these skills but also to use the skills and to teach others these skills.”
“I would recommend this program to any other people out there… it’s really fun and enjoyable as a group or as a school. I think students will really enjoy making music together.”
