Living beyond words: post-human reflections on making music with post-verbal people.

: This paper draws on a longitudinal ethnographic study of music-making with "post-verbal" people: those with stroke, learning difficulties, acquired brain injury, dementias or autism. : Using embedded observation, arts workshops, interviews with families and carers and focus groups with Music Leaders, the project traced how inclusive music-making happens with "post-verbal" people. It used post-human theory to illuminate and explore processes and benefits.
