ACCESSIBLE MUSIC
For children, young people and adults with disabilities, access to music is often difficult – yet there have long been innovative ways to change this. In addition to adaptations of traditional instruments or notation systems, so-called accessible music technology (AMT) is an important tool that we use.
These instruments have been developed by and for people with disabilities and make music making possible for all.
Tabula Musica has profound expertise and many years of experience in accessible music education as well as in the field of adaptable instruments to make music making and education accessible for all.

TABULA MOBILÉ - an interactive musical experience
TABULA MOBILÉ is an inclusive music education program. It is designed for children, young people and adults with and without disabilities, special and regular schools, school homes, residential homes or cultural events of all kinds.
With TABULA MOBILÉ we bring an interactive music experience with different barrier-free instruments to you. Dancing to make the room sound or making music with the blink of an eye? Everything is possible!
No prior experience is required. All we need is electricity and at least 50 square meters of space. And of course: the joy of music!

SYMPOSIA
The underrepresentation of musicians with disabilities has many reasons. First and foremost, it is due to structural barriers that already exclude children with disabilities from professional music lessons.
Tabula Musica aims to initiate a public discourse about the (in)accessibility of Swiss educational institutions and to create the opportunity for an exchange with experts within the field of disability, both through people with and without disabilities from Switzerland and abroad. In this way we make an important contribution to the implementation of the UNO-Behindertenrechtskonvention.
Music of the future
The symposium "Music of the Future" focuses on the question of how local educational institutions must change to ensure access for all people. This also applies to those who have so far been continually excluded due to obstructive societal structures. Together with experts and artists with and without disabilities, answers and concrete possibilities for action will be sought.
Networking events
Musicians with disabilities are still rarely seen on professional stages. With networking events Tabula Musica contributes to the exchange between existing inclusive music ensembles. In addition to making music together, ways to further promote artistic and cultural diversity in a professional environment will be discussed.
