The project is about sharing your musical skills in a supportive group environment and learning new ones. The training will take place in informal groups led by experienced music leaders/practitioners that will encourage you to have a go, explore you own skills and integrate them with other skills, like music technology, production, bands, guitars, etc and other peoples skills like beatboxing, freestyling etc.
After the three months of skills sharing, appox 17 sessions and workshops, there is the opportunity to progress into setting yourself up as a freelance music leader (the information on how to do this will be provided in the training). If that sounds scary, please don't worry as you will be supported throughout April to March, when you will be providing outreach workshops to other adults, by a lead practitioner who will be there to help and guide you , and who you can watch and gain tips from.
(If you take up this opportunity then you will be under contract and there is payment for the work that you undertake)
