• The course will help you to develop the necessary transferable skills in assisting, planning and leading workshops for non-specialist musical groups through creative arts.

• Music in Prisons (The Irene Taylor Trust), practising experts of national acclaim, will lead a team of animateurs and specialists in this field to guide, support and challenge you.
