BBC Ten Pieces: New Inclusive Arrangements Now Available

BBC Ten Pieces has collaborated with Open Up Music, Soundbeam, and Digit Music to create accessible arrangements for Clarion, CMPSR, and Soundbeam, opening up new opportunities for inclusive music-making.

Clarion: Open Up Music has arranged Grasswalk (Laura Shigihara) and Magic (Judith Weir) for the Clarion, a digital instrument designed for accessible music-making.

Soundbeam: Sound files for the same two pieces are available for Soundbeam, a 'touch-free' device that transforms movement into sound. These can be used independently or as part of an open ensemble.

CMPSR: Digit Music has created Arrownotes and activities for Grasswalk and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5, offering alternative notation for greater accessibility.
