Training the Community Musician 2022

21 February 2022 - 22 February 2022

Join us at Bristol Beacon for our annual event looking at how we train, nurture and support community music practitioners. TTCM 2022 is the third in a series of symposiums delivered by Sound Sense in partnership with the University of Aberdeen and Bristol Music Trust.

As in previous years, TTCM 2022 will embrace an ethos of provocation and inclusivity. Day one of the event will involve presentations, workshops and conversations exploring the theme: How do we prepare community musicians for the challenges of 21st century practice? Presenters and topics will include:

Ben Vleminckx, Evolve Music: How do we diversify the community music workforce and make training opportunities accessible to underrepresented individuals?
Dr Ignacio Agrimbau & Marie Negus, SoCo Music Project: Sustainable Early Years Music - in practice
Jaimee & Ron Jensen-McDaniel: Outside the boundary: preparing community
musicians for work where community music is not established
Nell Farrally: Evaluation practices in community music: initial findings from PhD research project – implications for YOUR practice?
Rachael Perrin, Soundcastle: Wellbeing is for us too!
Siggy Patchitt & Julia Roderick, Bristol Beacon: Arts and Health – the future of
community music?

During day two we will use Open Space Technology to continue and deepen our conversations, facilitated by Elspeth Murray.
