Each of these introductory two-hour sessions are designed for performing arts professionals and students. You will learn about the risk factors and key strategies to maintaining a sustainable career.

How to attend

All events are free to register for, and musicians do not have to be MU members. They will be held over a web video platform. Further details on logging in will be released to those who have signed up.

As these are live streams, each course will still be held at a specific date and time. Please only register if you can attend for the full two hours.

Which events are running

Here’s a list of the events BAPAM are currently planning. You can find more details on the event and how to register by clicking through the link.

Stay in up to date

We'll be contacting members with daily updates, including opportunities for online training. No fear, no fuss, just the latest advice and resources for all musicians, delivered each morning to your inbox. 

If you want to receive them make sure you’ve given the MU permission to send you news emails.
 
We’ve also set up an email list for non-members to receive our coronavirus updates too. Sign up now and share this link with their friends and colleagues.
