Figurenotes: Developing Your Practice

  • 14th, 21st, and 28th May 2025
  • 09:30 - 11:30
  • Online (Zoom)

Create a more accessible music practice. We’ll use Figurenotes as a tool to work through the fundamentals of music – pulse and rhythm skills, composition and creative play, and mixed-ability groups. You’ll learn how to approach these with fun and creativity, building a practice accessible to all.

Our online training programme consists of three interactive Zoom sessions, plus a 1:1 session with course leaders to focus entirely on you and your work.

Each interactive session lasts 2 hours. The groups are kept small to allow full participation from everyone, ensuring you get valuable feedback from your peers and the course leaders. You’ll also be guided through activities to help you apply the training to your own practice. You will finish this training with resources you can use straight away and a good idea of how to progress your work further.

Figurenotes is a notation that uses colour and shape to show pitch and rhythm, with a very clear progression towards conventional notation. People at different levels of reading can play together and progress at their own pace. It is fantastic for building solid rhythmic skills and great for creativity.

Our training is designed for music teachers, practitioners, community musicians, music therapists, and instrumental teachers. If you aren’t sure about the level of basic music knowledge required and whether this training is for you, please get in touch for some guidance and we’d be happy to help.
