Description
Online session using Zoom
We are offering this course free of charge due to the current COVID-19 situation. However, Sound Connections is a charity and we would appreciate your support to enable us to continue to offer opportunities to those working with young people through music. If you are able to donate please do so here.
This online session aims to bring together youth professionals and music educators to share how we can support young people through music in youth work settings. It will be mindful to the current COVID-19 situation, and how to maintain engagement with young people through music if face-to-face activity isn’t possible.
