Monthly webinar series re-launched for the new school year
Sounds of Intent hosts monthly webinars on all things inclusive music education. Originally designed for those in Music Hubs, they are ideal for practitioners, teachers, music therapists and families. The format combines presentations with substantial Q&A and discussion time, meaning that ideas and experience are shared in a meaningful way.
The meetings are hosted on the first Wednesday of each month from 4:30-5:30pm. September's webinar is an exception and will be falling next week - Wednesday the 16th - at the usual time. It will cover what you can expect from earning a Postgraduate Certificate in Sounds of Intent from the University of Roehampton - which is still open for signups for the 2026/7 academic year.
