Caroline
has been playing music with children for nearly twenty years. She began
when her second child, Oliver, was diagnosed with autism and she realised
how well he responded to music. She helped found an informal music group
with the parents of other autistic children and soon began playing her
guitar and leading sing-alongs at other schools and nurseries in her
area. Caroline, who has three children, now runs her MiniBeat
pre-school music sessions in North london seven times a week. Caroline
has also worked in Special Needs schools across London, playing and singing
with children with behavoiur and communication disorders. |
Neal
was a founder member and lead guitarist of Sigue Sigue Sputnik, the
electronic cyperpunk band whose hits and hairstyles topped the charts
in the late eighties. He went on to become a session player, producer and writer with artists across the world. He continues to work as guitarist and musical director for Marc Almond. His hair now (almost) under control, Neal lives in London with his wife and two children - Jack, 5, and Natasha, 3. As a father and professional musician, Neal sees music as a powerful way of stimulating, inspiring and amusing children. |
