  • Be able to develop sessions where every child has an equal opportunity to learn create and progress.
  • Feel more assured with reflective practice – why it is important and how to develop it both on your own and with others.
  • Understand the complexities of progression and devise ways to enable their participants to move forward in musical knowledge, musical performance and in sustaining and developing their music beyond the session.
  • Understand elements of group theory and when to use different leadership styles.

All sessions will be interactive involving the musicians in discussion, questioning, role play and other activities. In addition there will be some PowerPoint presentations from you on different aspects of inclusive practice.
