Learning by Ear Ensemble Leadership

Join Orchestra’s for All for a FREE Music Leadership Training session with Emily Askew, folk educator with the English Folk Dance and Song Society.

The sessions are for music teachers/leaders working with 11-18 year-olds at a range of musical skill levels, and will introduce approaches to using aural leadership to develop your ensemble’s musicianship. The sessions are open to music leaders working in state school / music hub / service / community settings regardless of level of experience – from complete beginner to highly experienced.

The skills and approaches in the session can be applied to any music-making

context, from KS3 or 4 class, extra- curricular orchestra or band. Whether you’ve never led an ensemble before and want to get started or you’re really experienced and want to freshen up your skills after a year without live music-making, this session is for you!

The sessions will be friendly and supportive – designed to give you a boost as you head back into the rehearsal room.
