Inspirational

An inspirational event or experience for a young person will feel relevant to them, the things going on in their lives and where they are as young people and (potential) musicians.

A tutor or music leader need not be famous to be brilliant and inspiring!

A really good event in a school or village hall can light the flame just as much as a large scale event in a far away place!

An inspirational experience can be the beginning of a longer term relationship with music, venues or providers of opportunities.

As a result of that inspirational experience, a young person might feel…

  • “Yes! This (or something similar) could be for me.”
  • “I want to do that”in which case we need to consider how they are signposted to where and how can they could learn / participate / join?
  • “Actually I preferred the other thing to this but I’m glad I heard it.” Not as great, but its important we encourage choice and variety.
