Noriko Ogawa has been organising and performing for ‘Jamie’s Concerts’ in Japan and the UK since 2004. Jamie’s Concerts are designed to suit the needs of families living with Autism and the Autism Spectrum.
Dr. Mirjam James and Noriko Ogawa joined up to do research on Jamie’s Concerts and they have collected over 200 questionnaires from the concerts in Japan and the UK since the 2015-16 season. All the data has now been studied and analysed. Some selected members of the concert audiences volunteered to be interviewed by Dr. James.
Out of this research we could see how ‘Jamie’s Concerts’ work and how effective they are for the families living with Autism and the Autism Spectrum.
The result of this pioneering research will be disclosed at the ResearchWorks Seminar at the Lecture Recital Room at Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Silk Street Building on June 12, 6-7pm. It is FREE but booking is advised.
