RSM and BAPAM Present: Healthy Teachers webinar

The Royal Society of Musicians invites music teachers and educators across NI and beyond to join their upcoming Healthy Practice webinar on Thursday, 20th February 2024, from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm. This free online event explores how teachers can instil healthy practice and playing techniques in their students, setting them up for long and sustainable musical careers.

Teaching goes beyond developing technical skills – it’s about nurturing talent while safeguarding students’ physical and mental well-being. This webinar brings together a panel of experts to provide valuable insights and practical advice. Speakers include Dr Naomi Norton, lecturer in Music Education at the University of York; Dr Sarah Upjohn, physiotherapist and BAPAM clinician; and Professor Derek Aviss OBE, Emeritus Professor of Education at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance.

Derek will also be joined by his former student, Melody Lin, a cellist with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, who will share her inspiring journey of recovering from a performance-related injury through adopting efficient practice techniques.

Designed for music educators teaching all ages and skill levels, this session offers actionable tips and expert guidance to help teachers integrate healthy habits into their teaching.

Reserve your place now for this essential webinar, accessible to teachers across NI and throughout the UK. Sign up for free and take the next step in supporting your students’ long-term musical success.
