the CPD is to introduce the following ideas:

How to create an inclusive, focused and trusting group energy

How to enhance communication skills in your team and yourself


How to work creatively with mixed ages


How to discover and explore ideas through sounds


How to facilitate expressing identity and enable self-expression in creative music-making


Group reflection and feedback

It gives us great pleasure to share the Soundcastle approach and we hope to welcome you on the 7th February.

‘Facilitation is so different from usual instrumental teaching and I have many ideas to put into my teaching now.’

‘The reflection time enabled us to go over all the activities in detail as well as any changes we could make.’

‘It was informative as well as hands on which is the perfect balance.’

‘It gave me a practical experience of music facilitation and exercises to incorporate into my practice.’
