About Using Music in your Workplace
Are you wanting to use music in your workplace in a more meaningful way - to improve the mental health of your patients, or facilitate a meaningful connection between mothers and babies, for example? Looking to introduce it in to your current practice? Or perhaps you are a musician and are wanting an insight into the world of music therapy, before committing to Guildhall’s two year MA course?
Using Music in your Workplace is a one-day course that will give you an insight into music therapy and equip you with techniques to apply to existing practices.
Who is the course for?
- Education, health and community workers who are wanting to improve existing music practices in a more meaningful way, or are looking to introduce it into the workplace.
- Participants who are already using music in their profession (i.e. a musician) and are looking to get an insight into music therapy.
We are pleased to offer a number of places on this course at a 20% discount for NHS workers and employees in the charity sector.
