A series of roadshows aimed at musicians who want to develop their skills in helping others to learn through music is being launched by the Musicians? Union (MU) in collaboration with community music agency Sound Sense.
Funded by the Department for Education and Employment, the aim of the roadshows is to help musicians improve their employability in community music, music education and outreach work. Information will be provided about the various training opportunities available to musicians, from practical courses and workshops to online training, academic studies and informal learning. Continuous research by the MU has shown that the proportion of musicians involved in community music over the past 20 years has risen from 1.5% in 1978 to 6.8% in 1998, by far the largest rise of any sector in their survey.
