Following an enjoyable one-day conference for teaching members in Belfast last year, we have decided to offer a one-day conference in a different part of the UK every year from now on, instead of our previous two-day conference every few years.

This means our next event will be a one-day conference for music educators on 28 April at the Studio, Glasgow. Members and non-members are both welcome to attend.

Running from 9.30 am to 4:00 pm, the programme will focus on practical CPD and wellbeing, as well as networking, live music and updates from the MU.

Workshops will include:

  • Vocal health and melodies for the mind
  • Strengthening the tools of mind during adolescence
  • Figurenotes by Drake Music Scotland
  • Djembe drumming
  • Wellbeing and high performance in life and work.

Full details, timings and booking information will be published on the MU website soon.

Members are also welcome to email education@themu.org with suggestions or requests for future events.
