Introduction

Link Sound

 

Link Sound Sinfonia is a social impact project initiated and coordinated by the Wong Bing Lai Music and Performing Arts Unit at Lingnan University. It aims to offer individuals from different backgrounds and with various musical abilities the training in teaching music and the opportunity to interact with learners, which include people with physical, mental and/or intellectual disabilities (PWD) and special educational needs (SEN), through practical sessions in real-life community settings.

 

By gathering our developed network ranging from Lingnan students, staff and alumni to cross-disciplinary professionals and facilitators like musicians, schoolteachers, social workers, clinical psychologists, technologists, as well as local charitable organizations and special schools, we are positive in establishing a platform that cherishes diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) with a shared love for music.

 

Through investigating and understanding individuals’ teaching and learning experiences, we would also like to provide tailor-made solutions based on the diverse needs and explore a sustainable pedagogy in music education.
