Musical Futures: Composing and Improvising CPD session

Musical Futures is an approach to teaching and learning based on the real-world practices of popular and community musicians, making it relevant and engaging for young people. We provide training, resources and an international community of practice for teachers to help them provide accessible music-making in their schools.

Musical Futures approach to Composing and Improvising gives students the skills needed to tackle the demands of GCSE composing, and is delivered in practical ways that are musical as well as theoretical. Take an existing piece of music, break it down, transform it, improvise on its various elements and collaboratibely create and compose new works. The approach is about unpicking and understanding music from the inside out.

"Packed full of great ideas to use immediately. Came away buzzing! Can't recomment highly enough."
