TG: This workshop will be useful for instrumental teachers in a variety of settings, including Wider-Ops group teaching to pre-college individual lessons, and orchestras and ensembles. As a string specialist, I'll be drawing on teaching examples particularly relevant to string teachers, but teachers of other instrumental families should find it useful.

TG: Mistakes happen. Indeed, without them we wouldn't be able to learn or develop any skills. In my presentation, we will explore how a comfortable learning environment leads to a greater sense of cohesion by prioritising exploration over precision, finding a more expressive path to clarity and cohesion in our music-making.
