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 eight 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, 8, and Natasha, 6. As a father and professional musician, Neal sees music as a powerful way of stimulating, inspiring and amusing children. |
