Lift Music
LIFT Music is an accessible digital music app designed to enable pupils with cognitive disabilities to participate in musical performance and composition. Through gesture-based interaction, pupils can create and manipulate sound, supporting key aims of the National Curriculum for Music including performing, composing, listening, and responding to music. By removing barriers associated with traditional instruments, LIFT supports inclusive access to creative musical learning within SEND settings.
There is no specialist equipment and no musical knowledge required, just movement, music and meaningful engagement. Users simply lift and move their arms to conduct the music, instantly hearing changes in tempo, rhythm, dynamics and texture. It is intuitive, engaging and empowering, making music accessible to everyone.

- Mainstream and SEND provision
