Thinking about Teaching‽ is an exciting course customised to the needs of the participants. It gives instrumental music teachers a platform to meet colleagues and is a space to reflect on and share teaching experiences. Limited to a maximum of 10 participants for quality purposes and to allow for everyone to develop, revise, and learn new skills. This course is not instrument specific: it focuses on teaching and is therefore open to all instrumental teachers.
