Push Play Sing

Founded in the summer of 2014, Push Play Sing! seeks to empower those in the community with intellectual and developmental disabilities by providing hands-on musical enrichment, engagement and expression in the form of participatory music workshops. Fully equipped with instruments and recording gear, members of Push Play Sing! travel directly to sites and host one-hour participatory workshops where attendees are encouraged to push MIDI pads, play keyboards and guitars, and sing to their hearts' content. As participants engage with sounds, Push Play Sing! captures every bit of audio through the use of field recorders and specific software. These captured sounds, generated entirely by the workshop's participants, are then arranged into complete compositions that can be listened to, shared, and cherished among family and friends.
