"CONSTANTLY LEARNING - TRANSFORMING MUSIC EDUCATION"
or "The Online Way is Essex"
4.40pm, Tuesday 4th May 2021
"During the pandemic, Essex Music Education Hub moved its entire provision online, including thousands of 1-to-1, small group, classroom and workshop sessions – John Hutchings, with evidence from the Essex tutor workforce, takes us through the learning. In looking back, John will explore what skills were transferred, what skills were new, and what hurdles were overcome; and going forwards, how that learning will form part of Essex’s continual provision – how it will develop 1-to-1 and classroom tuition, and through blended learning to allow as many young people as possible to have high quality musical learning."
