Inclusive practitioner training course with Phil Mullen

Event description

This training course aims to:

  • Give music practitioners a thorough understanding of inclusive music practice – The reasons behind the work and why it is especially suited to those working in community music or non-formal music education contexts.
  • Provide music leaders with practical ways of developing and deepening engagement.
  • Further musicians understanding of reflective practice and why it is an important tool in inclusion and to enable them to deepen their commitment to this way of working.
  • Focus on issues of progression in a broad sense and encourage musicians to see beyond the session to the musical pathways of their participants.

At the end of the four days the musicians will:

  • Have a range of different ways to engage children and young people in music activity.
  • Be able to develop sessions where every child has an equal opportunity to learn create and progress.
  • Feel more assured with reflective practice (and also reflexive or circular 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.
