What Customers Are Saying:

"Students on the spectrum of autism are characterized as having great musical capabilities, however, they find it difficult to learn to play a number of instruments because they are unable to learn the notes and lack the ability to deal with the instruments. A week ago, we were first introduced and exposed to the instrument you developed. The guitar arcana. Through my trying out the instrument, I found that it was very suitable for my students in the school. It is constructed in such an accessible way that students are able to learn to operate the instrument, use it to learn notes, enjoy the experience of music, apply their musical abilities and skills, and receive emotional, social, and communicative feedback. -Nurit A."

"The ARCANA musical program is a new musical environment that enables our students to try and play musical instruments adapted to their disability, with an emphasis upon independence, responsibility, abilities, and success. The program is now being implemented in the school for the second year, led by Boaz Reinschreiber and it is enabling our students with motor physical disabilities to use instruments that develop their musical skills. This project has been a great success among our students and empowers them greatly. We consider these instruments to be tools to develop future skills and talents and an expansion of knowledge. In addition, the study of music in a group situation works towards positive mutual dependence within the group, taking responsibility and giving an equal opportunity for success. The importance of the group in this program requires the participants to be emotionally involved and requires active participation, which leads to the study of self-development and self-value, as well as to value of one's colleagues. They learn to make decisions, to set the learning pace based upon the group's needs, and to deal with problems in collaboration with colleagues. All of this leads to the shared contribution by all the participants in the program. -Shenhav B."

"There was great excitement when we found out that even those with the most serious motor disabilities were able to create music. Their faces reflected their great pleasure. One of the students lacked upper and lower limbs and was unable to play any instruments, and she is the one who succeeded in playing in such a natural and perfect way. We are familiar with the magical instrument, we tried it out, and it is very suitable for our framework. -Milcha R."

"The world of music instruments is immense, but never before was there a music instrument that's fit for many of those that are not able to play conventional instruments. Arcana is the ultimate solution for closing this gap. -Hezi P."

We saw a wonderful opportunity in this unique product for those who want to use standard instruments but are unable to do so to create music due to motor or cognitive disabilities. In an organization that yearns to innovate and that strives towards working with the concept of universal design for all, we were glad to have an opportunity to take part in the development of universal instruments that make it possible for persons with disabilities to connect with music and all of its advantages, such as:
- Enriching and having good integration into society, with the family and with children
- A language for emotional and independent expression
- A pleasant leisure activity
- Self-confidence and satisfaction

I just used the Arcana with one of our most high need residents (who is partially paralyzed and cognitively disabled) and he was ecstatic during our session. Right away, he understood the purpose of the instrument and though I had to help him press the keys down, he was fully able to “strum” on his own. We played several songs and he was very pleased with himself.
He said “instrument amazing!” followed by a succession of positive remarks. I could see by his rapid eye movement and steady breath that he was very happy and activated by playing, and that it was a very unique experience for him.
