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.

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.
