Drake Music Scotland is an arts organization with "expertise in inclusive music technology and specialist teaching methods (that) support people of all ages and a wide range of disabilities to play, learn and compose music independently." This organization also launched the worldʼs first disabled youth orchestra in April 2016 called the Digital Orchestra, whose members create their own music using inclusive music technologies. Hereʼs a short documentary detailing Drakeʼs launching of the Digital Orchestra:

After observing a Digitial Orchestra rehearsal, I came away from the session excited about learning more about assistive music technology and its creative and inclusive use in the classroom. Here are just a few of these digital tools:

Eyegaze

Touchboard

Brainfingers

Skoog

MadPad

Soundbeam

ThumbJam

Switches

Blocks

Loopesque

Microphone iPad

LoopJam

And if youʼd like an extensive list of assistive technology, Drake Music shared this powerpoint in video format listing over 30 iPad apps, as well as a Short Guide to Accessible Music Education.
