Leo, a young disabled musician, shares: ‘Before NOYO, I liked listening to music, but I didn’t really play it. Instruments felt difficult, and I wasn’t sure there was a place for me in an orchestra.’ This highlights a common issue: young disabled musicians are often excluded from musical groups because they are inaccessible. How can young disabled people like Leo, who are passionate about music, access opportunities to make music with others?
