Training

Music education that empowers, includes, and breaks down barriers

Jump To:

We offer specialist training for music leaders and educators to create more inclusive, accessible music experiences.

Building on our Inclusive Practitioner Certificate for Music Educators training programme, our upcoming programme – launching in 2026 – will equip professionals with the tools to support disabled young people and those facing barriers to music education, fostering a more equitable music sector.

In a sunlit classroom, a man in a wheelchair talks to a man sitting a chair, with a third man taking notes to one side.

I found the course extremely valuable and insightful. It allowed me to understand some of the theory underpinning my work and gave me resources that I have shared in my own practice and training sessions.
