Training opportunities

We provide professional development opportunities for emerging and existing music leaders, teachers and practitioners. Some events are open access, and others are available to those in the Musinc music leader network. To become a member of our music leader network please contact musinc@middlesbrough.gov.uk – it’s free to join!

We also run paid mentoring schemes for existing/emerging music leaders.

If there are costs attached to training, we are sometimes able to offer bursaries to cover these costs. Please contact us to discuss further.
