Meet the examiner webinar
Listen, Hear, Play
Presenter: Anna Gower

Listen, Hear, Play is based on recent research by Professor Lucy Green that looked at applying informal approaches based on popular music pedagogies in one-to-one instrumental lessons.

Professor Green's findings ask whether we spend enough time supporting our students with learning music by ear, and what the implications might be if we dig a little deeper into how we learn aurally.

This practical workshop will help you to discover your preferred aural learning style and devise strategies to support your pupils in becoming successful aural learners.
