Dates and Delivery

There will be an induction followed by five weekends for the 2025/26 intake, with a mixture of Zoom and in-person sessions.

Programme activity will be delivered in a blended way, both in person and online via Zoom, to allow for interaction from students across the UK and accessibility for students with disabilities, on-going health conditions or significant caring responsibilities. Key points of in-person activity are:

  • Six days of practical workshops delivered in person across the year, including up to three days during the Induction period at the beginning of the programme. Venues for these are subject to the cohort’s locations.
  • One or more in-person observation visits from your mentor, carried out in your teaching setting.
  • Observations of teaching within Music Masters’ Flagship Schools and other partner organisations, to be carried out in person where possible.
  • Optional social events and workshop opportunities with the wider Music Masters team and network, made available across the year.

Accessibility

Students will be provided with opportunities to let the Music Masters team know their accessibility requirements before starting the programme.

I personally appreciate the remote learning, as I have mobility issues so that’s been wonderful to still feel included and not at a disadvantage.
