Networking opportunities for music leads and teachers
As part of our role to support music making in school and those delivering music education, we provide networking opportunities for music leads and teachers across the county.

Localised Networks
We believe it is important to provide an opportunity for music educators to gather in person and provide a space for in-person networking and support. Area Managers will arrange localised networks throughout the school year in order to support networking, sharing best practice and development of local events.
If you wish to attend any of the local network meetings, please contact your area manager to book your place.
We look forward to seeing you there!
