Inclusive music education for children with disabilities
Update: 2025-11-27
Description
In this powerful episode, host Kate welcomes Dr. Anthea Skinner—musician, researcher, and disability advocate—whose lived experience has inspired a groundbreaking initiative: the Adaptive Music Bridging Program.
A collaboration between the University of Melbourne and Melbourne Youth Orchestras, the program is revolutionising access to music education by providing adaptive instruments and inclusive learning spaces for children with disabilities. Anthea shares how her own journey as a disabled musician led to creating opportunities for kids to take their first music lessons and play alongside their peers in bands and orchestras.
This episode celebrates inclusion, innovation, and the belief that no child should be left on the sidelines of music.
