Community Music in the Workplace

This is a short introductory course designed to give an understanding of community music and a taste of the Community Music Tutor Training Course. Many people who attend this course go on to do the longer course, if you would like to try community music but are unsure about committing to a year course immediately this can be a great places to start. This course is also useful to those who work with community groups and would like to explore using music activity in their work. 

The Course covers a range of theory and practice in community music, with practical workshops from professional community music trainers. They include the basics of Group Work skills, Assertiveness, Devising and Adapting workshop material, Facilitating client learning and growth, Working with Soft Outcomes and Transferable Skills and Best Practice.

Our courses are Agored Cymru accredited. Training is designed with a structure, method and ethos, which reflects the job of a community music tutor i.e. the course is a valuable rehearsal for the job itself.  Training is based partly on self-assessment - trainees assess their own strengths and weaknesses. Through personal experience of being in a group in a learning environment, each trainee will gain an appreciation and understanding of group dynamics and group processes. 

This is a two day course.

Courses are designed for the following groups, but can benefit a wide range of people:

·      Individual Music teachers/tutors who would like to work with groups

·      Those with music skills, who work with disadvantaged groups or who would like to 

       incorporate music into the work of their organisation
