Now in its seventh year, this specialist development opportunity is an 11-month long programme of mentoring, workshops, networking and observation visits to develop the skills and career pathways of early years practitioners.

We have five apprenticeships available for individuals looking to widen skills, knowledge and experience of early years music practice.

You might be a teacher, student, music leader or volunteer already working with children and babies; you might only be working with older children or young people at the moment; or you may be a musician or arts practitioner looking to widen your skillset by expanding into working in early years. Some apprentices work in schools, others have their own businesses, or are on the way to setting up their own ventures – whatever your experience, if you want to work in the exciting and varied world of music making with babies, then this opportunity is for you.
