OrchLab includes two free events each year that are open to any disability organisation to attend.
OrchLab Open Web Training
This is a free, hands-on training session on Zoom for staff, carers, volunteers or family members who work with disabled adults.
During the training, you will be guided through a variety of online music activities on the OrchLab website and discover top tips, musical activities and fun games that you can take back and explore with the clients in your care settings.
No prior musical or technology expertise is needed, just enthusiasm!
Our next Open Web Training session will take place on Zoom on Tuesday 29 April 2025, 2 – 4pm.
OrchLab Festival Day
OrchLab Festival Day is our annual celebration of accessible music-making at the Royal Festival Hall, which is open to disabled adults and their carers/support workers.
At OrchLab Festival Day guests will be able to:
- Sing, play, join in and have fun in a relaxed environment
