The performing arts education sector is currently going through a turbulent time and it was felt that this conference has come at just the right time. With important decisions to be made, the conference was designed to advice and help build a positive picture for the future.
Paritor’s Managing Director Simon Dutton hosted the conference and was delighted to welcome all guest speakers. Ian Clethero from Zone New Media/Music Education UK spoke to us about the online hub that he had developed in partnership with Hertfordshire Music Service. Ben Ballard, freelance organisational development and fundraising consultant spoke about stresses and strains of developing a partnership, what is needed to make a good hub and for it ultimately to be successful.. Neil Farnworth came from a business background, Enrich Training and Consultancy, and spoke about the best business practices and the potential of privatisation. Whilst the key presentations came from Simon Dutton, about the necessity of being able to keep the teachers in contact with the parents and children as well as the ability for teachers to provide real-time information.
Overall, the conference was a huge success and covered many important topics regarding innovation of the way that music services operate and their needs for all elements of the music education hub.
The calibre of presenters at the conference was remarkable and many new ideas were mentioned regarding the management behind music education. Read below to find out more information about the presenters and their talks.
