Music Teaching Placement

Tinderbox
01.2022 - 01.2023
  • During my studies with Kingston University, I found a placement as part of a community team, working with young people and teaching music skills in a group environment
  • Our role as tutors was to create a welcoming and positive learning environment whilst working towards a group Christmas performance
  • Most of the young people had little to no experience with instruments, so patience, understanding and support were crucial aspects of this work.
