​The conference will bring a unique insight into what it means to be deaf in a musical world. We invite deaf and hearing professionals working in education to come together to share best practices and work together to make music more accessible for all. We will also be offering the following pre-conference INSETs before the conference, (9.30-11.45 am) led by leading deaf music professionals in their field:

1. "Making music accessible in the classroom" -  for music teachers in schools and music hubs. This session will cover a variety of practical skills, techniques, and resources. 

2. "Supporting deaf students in orchestras, ensembles, and private lessons" : a session for professionals working with children and young people across challenging specialist music settings.

3. “Deaf Awareness training” : A session to build general deaf awareness skills across professional and academic settings.

We anticipate that all leading organisations will send a representative to the conference. Spaces will be limited so we advise booking early to reserve a place. 

Delegates are welcome to participate in either the INSET or the conference but are also very welcome to attend both.

For all enquiries, including booking information on the INSET and/or to register interest for the conference, please email Lucy Dunkerley
