Emergent: Music Legacy Trainees wanted in the South West

Drake Music have today launched a three-year programme, funded by Help Musicians UK, of creative & career development for emerging Disabled musicians, focused on new music commissions and music leader training.

Disabled musicians in the South West are invited to apply for these paid trainee opportunities which offer on-the-job learning and bespoke mentoring from Drake Music's experienced Associate Musicians.

What does the training involve?

The Emergent: Music Legacy Trainees programme is a paid ‘on the job’ training programme for emerging Deaf/Disabled musicians who want to develop their practice as music facilitators.

Trainees will:

  • Work alongside Drake Music Associate Musicians in a support role on an upcoming participatory project
  • Meet other trainees and take part in training days that explore the development of your own music practice
  • Undertake 3 days’ worth of individual mentoring from an established DM Associate Musician focusing on facilitation skills, techniques and personal development goals, to develop ways to sustain your professional career
  • Be provided with support to attend music-led seminars and conferences, as opportunities for networking, self-promotion and awareness raising

To find out more please visit the Drake Music website.

Please note - Emergent: A Music Legacy will take place across the country, but the first round of training is only open to Disabled musicians in the South West.
