Musical Futures Training June 2013
For anyone wishing to extend your knowledge of Musical Futures or coming to it for the first time there are two key free training events in June. Musical Futures is a movement to reshape music education driven by teachers for teachers. At its heart is a set of pedagogies that bring non-formal teaching and informal learning approaches into more formal contexts, in an attempt to provide engaging, sustainable and relevant music making activities for all young people.
