Music Leader is a UK-wide Youth Music initiative and aims to provide access to training and professional development for music leaders at every stage of their career.
MusicLeader is aimed at all music practitioners and project managers, from experienced professionals to complete beginners. The service supports those who are already delivering music-making activities and also those who are managing their delivery. Practitioners may include; music teachers, music service employees, music advanced skills teachers, community musicians, and musicians who also work in education.
Project managers are those who are supporting the practitioners and managing the activity being delivered (in some cases this is one and the same person). This includes those project managers who specialise in working in the arts and music (e.g. music service managers, orchestral or venue education officers), but may also be other public sector employees who are increasingly employing musicians to deliver activity, which meets social and educational as well as musical aims, such as Early Years workers, Youth Workers, Youth Offending Team Managers.
