An interactive training day exploring ways of opening up your music-leading practice, with an afternoon session focusing on working in a criminal justice setting. For this session we will travel from our usual East London home to the beautiful, rural surroundings of Snape Maltings in Suffolk.
Workshop leader James Redwood will share games, exercises and musical activities for use both in and outside of mainstream education. Participants can expect to build confidence and top up their practical music-leading toolbox. Do bring your instrument if you have one, or come prepared to use your voice!
The afternoon will feature a discussion on the realities of working inclusively in the criminal justice system with singer and music leader Yve Riby-Williams. Yve will share her experience and approaches developed through leading Britten Pears Arts’ music-making programme in HMP Warren Hill. Participants will explore how to develop their individual music-leading style and tailor their workshops to a broader audience, ensuring they look after everyone taking part. Skills learnt in the session can be transferred to a range of community settings and contexts.
Presented in partnership with Britten Pears Arts
