Workshop Leader Education Program seeks students and lecture attendees

Genre:
  • Music ,
  • Lecture / Symposium

Training future leaders in cooperation with an overseas music institution that carries out cutting-edge educational programs, to disseminate the joy of music from a new perspective

Leading workshop participants is an important role that requires not only musical aptitude but diverse abilities including communication and self-expression skills. Under the guidance of workshop leaders from Casa da Música, an international pioneer in the field, participants in the Workshop Leadership Education Program create workshops in groups and present them to the public as they learn basic workshop leadership skills. The program provides practical training that cannot be acquired in the classroom alone.
