Notes Without Barriers - Music, Disability and Technologies for Inclusion #940558

Music knows no boundaries. From this principle arises the Notes Without Barriers method, an innovative approach that combines music and technology to break down barriers and make the musical experience accessible to everyone, regardless of motor, cognitive, or sensory abilities.This approach comes to life in inclusive musical performance, where every person can express themselves and participate actively.
This manual is the result of years of research, experimentation, and hands-on work with people with disabilities, both children and adults. Inside, you will find practical examples drawn from real-life situations, step-by-step explanations, and a series of multimedia resources to see the methodologies applied in practice.
From MIDI programming to the use of DAWs, from sensors to eye-controlled devices, the book shows how technological tools can become creative bridges, opening new expressive and relational possibilities.
Here, music is not just performance or entertainment, but a universal language capable of stimulating emotions, motivating, and fostering inclusion. It is a space for relationships, growth, and personal empowerment. Playing even a single note, through a small gesture, becomes an act of freedom and participation.
Whether you are a musician, teacher, or therapist, this book will guide you on a journey that combines theory and practice, technique and humanity, offering concrete tools to transform music into an experience truly open to all—and to restore its most authentic power: connecting people.
