Practitioner Programme Bursaries

AMP Networks are offering an opportunity for three emerging music leaders to undertake a training programme with the support of a bursary.

This development opportunity would be ideal for a music practitioner looking to develop their confidence and diversify their skills as a leader. We wish to support three practitioners in total to develop skills with either early years children or to develop inclusive practice skills with children and young people with a broad range of accessibility and support needs.

We are not looking for someone who necessarily already has expertise in these areas. Enthusiasm and commitment to developing musical leadership skills will be prioritised in bursary recipients.

What the programme includes for each recipient:

SHADOWING

2 x Half-Day shadowing sessions in a music setting in North Yorkshire. You will shadow an experienced music leader, spending time observing and playing musically with children in the setting, taking part in reflection discussion.

MENTORING

3 x 1hr Mentor Sessions. You’ll meet online (or in person) with an experienced music leader to reflect on and discuss your observations from the sessions and how these can inform your own practice and work.

RESOURCES AND TRAINING

Access to our online resources featuring a huge range of pre-recorded CPD sessions. Plus, further training and CPD as agreed with AMP.

BURSARY

AMP will be offering a bursary of £400 plus agreed travel to take part in this programme.

TIME COMMITMENT

Exact dates to be agreed between AMP and successful candidate. Enthusiasm and commitment to developing musical leadership skills is more important than already having an advanced skillset
