The Interactive Music-Making training scheme for early years staff gives them skills drawn from music therapy to use with the children in their care on a day-to-day basis.
Seven awards are available, providing a fully funded course place, a set of intruments, and a contribution towards staff cover and travel costs. Applicants who are not eligible for the full award and who are unable pay the full course fees, can apply for a subsidised place. Applications for an IMM award must come via settings, not individuals.
The South-London based charity has 20 years of experience in training care practitioners and has been running a bursary scheme for early years practitioners since 2017, which it says has created opportunities for more than 10,000 children to access music as part of their early years care (of whom 25 per cent have identified special educational needs and 49 per cent report English as an additional language).
