About the Work
Repetition is key to overcoming a Speech Sound Disorder, but for kids, repetition is boring. Except when it happens in music. After identifying the area of music as one where repetition is common & beneficial, we set out to formalise the relationship between music and speech therapy. We developed an algorithm to analyse lyrics for specific sounds occurring with a certain frequency, as well as other conditions (e.g. proximity, placement). We then teamed up with Warner Music & Apple Music to analyse over 70 million song lyrics, isolating songs in which particular sounds occur in particular patterns that are beneficial for speech therapy. These songs were collated into Saylists: playlists categorised by problem sounds, providing an easy, accessible, and enjoyable way for kids to practice the sounds they have trouble with, simply by singing along to their favourite songs.
The Saylists are hosted on Apple Music where they are easily accessible to all through any device or browser, with supporting communications on social channels. These playlists will be available indefinitely, with data available to create additional Saylists in the future, to continually refresh the platform and the offering to listeners.
