Special School Music Leaders Development Morning

Join our music facilitators for a friendly gathering aimed at celebrating and empowering leaders of music education in special schools! This event is a unique opportunity for music educators to come together, share insights, highlight great resources, and unpick challenges. The focus for this event is looking at building robust, inclusive music curriculums. We hope that all attendees will leave with an injection of inspiration and new ideas to use in the classroom!

All music leads welcome – no prior experience necessary, but all expertise valued!

This event is part of the All Aboard Music Network, generously funded by Youth Music.
