Music therapy training available for early years settings

A music charity has announced free training for early years practitioners for a third year.

South London-based charity Music as Therapy International is offering seven free places on its Interactive Music-Making course for 2019-20.

The six-month training, which has been running since 2010, aims to provide staff with the skills and confidence to use music in a therapeutic way with children in their care.

Music as Therapy International launched an awards scheme in 2017 to provide over half the places on the course free of charge in an attempt to combat financial challenges faced by nurseries and children’s centres.

The awards have allowed the project to reach more than 13,000 children through music programmes run by course graduates.

A further five places will be available for 2019-20 either part-subsidised or at full cost.
