Sound Sense :: the UK professional association for community musicians

The who, what, where and why of training community musicians

In the lead up to our third TTCM event at Bristol Beacon in February, Jess Abrams and Chris Gray have been having conversations with practitioners and educators exploring what it means to train, nurture and develop community musician practitioners. The Zoom conversations are being recorded and uploaded to our new Sound Sense YouTube page, with the first three there now for you to watch. You can join the conversation by commenting below the videos, and even better, by joining us in Bristol on 21-22 February.
