Education and Outreach
Reaching out
Our UK-wide programme of educational activities for music services, schools, individuals and community organisations aims to increase participation in our activities and awareness of the Conservatoire, and help our students develop the skills they need to work in music education.
The vast majority of professional performers and composers spend some time working in education. Our Education and Outreach programme allows undergraduate and postgraduate students to work within various educational settings, both as leaders or facilitators, and as assistants or shadow artists to our professional team.
Roadshows
In recent years we have delivered dozens of woodwind, brass and string roadshows in Music Services around the country, giving around 1,000 young musicians the opportunity to work with our students and professional teaching team.
Other projects have included a Continuing Professional Development Series for teachers; National Lower Strings Days, where over 100 cellists and double bassists descended on Birmingham to create a huge and completely unique sound; and national Brass Explosion! events.
We hope to expand the programme in future years, enhancing the musical experiences of even more young people around the country.
