Bespoke Training To Develop Skills In Intergenerational Practise & Music For Wellbeing
Want to develop skills in using music for wellbeing and build intergenerational community connections? We offer bespoke training and consultancy to support you in taking those next steps.
Our training aims to inspire, equip, and further embed the use of music and more specifically intergenerational practice in care, health, community, and education settings. Training is delivered directly to care staff, volunteers, musicians and community leader and is shaped accordingly to empower individuals to develop their practice.
The Aims Of Our Training
Skill enhancement training aims to work with individuals and groups across sectors to improve their confidence and give them skills to use person-centred intergenerational music with younger and older generations. We provide half day, full day, online and in person training days shaped to meet the needs of your team and clients. We want to support you by providing theory and knowledge behind intergenerational music, health and wellbeing and then practical tools to implement the practice across your setting.
Who Is The Training For?
Our staff and senior artists can provide training to suit your organisation’s needs – whether you are just getting started on intergenerational arts or have many years of experience but would relish some fresh ideas. These highly practical intergenerational training sessions aim to help staff and students put across key musical skills and concepts in a fun and engaging way.
