INTRODUCTION

In Portugal, in the year 2018 began an action-research project with the aim of finding solutions so that children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) could learn music in Arts Education Programmes.

Our work 

(i) the process of the child's entry into the Artistic School; 

(ii) the work carried out by the piano teacher in the first three months of the study; 

(iii) the curricular adaptations proposed by the Teachers of the Ensemble and Music Training class so that the child could fulfil the proposed objectives and 

(iv) the arrangements and musical compositions adapted so that the child could fulfil the demands of the school programme. 

Among the results we highlight the importance of collaborative work as well as the curricular adaptations made by the teachers, which were fundamental so that the child under study can develop all his/her artistic potentialities in an active and participatory way.

At this blog you can find some arrangements and musical compositions adapted.

This study reveals important antecedents not only for this child, but for all children with intellectual disabilities to be able to participate fully and actively in this type of education.
