Musical magic for Peterborough deaf children

DEAF children are able to experience the magic of music at special sessions reports the Peterborough Evening Telegraph (01/12/11).

Youngsters as young as eight with hearing impediments were invited to take part in a monthly session at Jack Hunt School in Walton.

The children from across the city learnt how to play a number of instruments, as well as taking part in other activities.

Matthew Gunn, head of music services at Cambridgeshire County Council, which helped organise the session, said: “We have held the sessions in Cambridgeshire for a while, but in Peterborough only for this year. They give children the chance to get individual or small group tuition, that they would not normally get.”

The next free session will be held after the Christmas break. It will be held at Jack Hunt School on January 14 between 10am and noon.
