"To see the music staff and students so engaged absolutely proves how solid your methods are. We are already having conversations and planning our next steps on how to include Musical Futures across our curriculum"  (John, The British School, Jakarta)
5 great reasons to attend a workshop in 2019

​Musical Futures teacher professional development focuses on supporting and extending the skills of classroom and instrumental teachers to create sustainable music opportunities for students in schools. 

It is underpinned by pedagogies developed from informal learning and non-formal teaching approaches to classroom music.

Delegates put themselves in the position of their learners and, above all, Musical Futures training reminds teachers of their musical roots and is always a fun, inspiring and creative day.

"I tried it out on Monday morning with my Grade 9 class; they worked for all class time and into their lunch break on their accord (this has never happened before). I had never worked so fast on a piece of music before, they had worked out their parts so quickly. It is great that I can apply this so quickly into my classes"  
(Chris, ISS International School, Singapore)
All our workshops come with a suite of free resources ready for immediate use in the classroom and all delegates at Musical Futures International workshops will get free and unlimited downloads of current and future resources from our website.  Read more...
