Early Years Music Scotland is delivering a year-long programme of free, high-quality, creative and inspiring continuous professional learning and development for musicians working with children in the early years across Scotland, supported by Creative Scotland's Youth Music Initiative.
This workshop is free-of-charge to musicians who are resident in Scotland and working with children in the early years (0-5yrs). Non-Scottish residents and non-musicians may purchase a ticket.
This workshop will be recorded and available to view for one month following the event. The recording will be sent to all ticket holders within 48 hours of the event.

This workshop is an opportunity to gain insights into intergenerational music practice, including setting up projects and examples of practical music activities, as well as being introduced to the wider context within relevant curriculum and care frameworks. There will be a chance to reflect on your own practice and connect with others doing this work, or about to embark on intergenerational work.
This workshop will be delivered by Liv McLennan. Liv is a community musician, creative practitioner and trainer as well as a co-director of Sounds Better CIC. She works with many different groups of people, from children in the early years and their families, to people with long term health conditions, in particular people living with dementia, people living with Parkinson’s and people with respiratory conditions, as well as working intergenerationally. She is currently undertaking a PhD in intergenerational music-making in care homes at Guildhall School of Music and Drama, with a focus on practice research and arts-based methods.
