Online and upwards! Delivering musical activities remotely

My project colleague and I attended an online mini conference: MC2 Inclusive Online Musical Learning, presented by CoMusica, Sage Gateshead. This delivered a range of speakers, activities and information which we found extremely useful and encouraging. It was really inspiring to see that so many people are working to overcome the difficulties of the current pandemic and deliver meaningful musical activities to a range of young musicians. It is easy to feel isolated at the moment and this event reminded us of the community of wonderful music leaders out there and drew attention to the wealth of experience and resources available to help us navigate our way to that fabled light at the end of the tunnel.

Sharing our experience and knowledge is a wonderful way of connecting and this event provided us with very valuable information, resources and routes to support networks. I would recommend looking our for further events from CoMusica in the future. 

Attached is a podcast created with three attendees, discussing their thoughts of the event and their experienes of delivering musical activities online. I was delighted to be asked to take part and hope others may find it of interest.
