Instrumental Tutors Day - 7th September 2026
About this Event
We look forward to continuing the great working partnership with all tutors of York in September at our Instrumental Tutors Training Day and especially excited to have Paul Harris as our guest speaker for the day.
The day will be packed full of helpful and informative information, with hopefully numerous 'take-aways' to help you throughout the new academic year.
But, one of the best parts of the day is simply networking with other tutors and building those friendship / colleague relationships while eating some delicious cake from us.
Pleae note: Lunch can be purchased at the Clifton Explore Library and parking is availble.
Shared resources: Do you have any instrumental music books you no longer need, ABRSM exam books? Early instrumental teaching books? Bring them to the day and let's share and support each other.
Paul Harris: "If only my pupils would practise more!"
Practice makes perfect…or does it? This fascinating workshop improves the quality and effectiveness of practice by helping teachers motivate their pupils to get the best out of the time between lessons. Paul Harris offers a wealth of ideas and strategies that will bring a greater understanding to all of how best to use those precious hours. He also challenges and dispels a number of presently held opinions on what makes for effective practice. An ideal presentation for teachers with students who are not fulfilling their potential, or who have talented pupils with low motivation. This workshop can also be delivered directly to the pupils themselves.
Paul Harris: Group teaching
This workshop is a fascinating yet practical exploration of how to get the best from group teaching. Paul demonstrates how Simultaneous Learning techniques can be used to produce effective and absorbing group lessons and how this helps to reduce the difficulties and stress that can arise through group teaching. This workshop is best delivered alongside Paul’s session on Simultaneous Learning and if a group is available, so much the better!
