The education and training of young musicians is still rife with abuse, injury, burnout, and very limited freedom of expression. It's time to talk about it.
Join us for the first UK-based panel on this landmark project, where 125 researchers, clinicians, educators, musicians, student representatives, institutional leaders, and disability advocates across 31 countries and 6 continents came together to develop the first comprehensive health promotion guidelines for tertiary music education worldwide.
Health promotion means systemic change, not just individual behaviour. That means institutions having the right policies in place, teachers being appropriately trained, abuse being genuinely not tolerated, and a wholesale shift in how we think about music: as a form of art, not a pursuit of narrow, past-oriented excellence at any human cost.
This conversation is for students, performers, educators, and anyone who cares about the future of music training.
Where? Guildhall School of Music & Drama, Barbican, London
