@Soundconnections funded me to write an article over lockdown, and now that it’s complete I can’t wait to share it. Singing has the potential to directly address the needs of transgender people - and yet, they remain largely excluded from the activity. Why? (1/3)

... In this article I hope to share the importance of trans-inclusive practice with my colleagues, and offer some ideas for a way forward that could benefit us all.
