Virtual Masterclass
A flexible, self-paced online introduction that covers the foundations: what Community Music is and isn't, the ethics that underpin it, and practical tools to begin applying it in your work.
Who it’s for
Musicians, educators, and community or social practitioners who want a solid foundation before joining in-person training or integrating participatory methods into their work or those who are looking for a refresher toolkit to enhance or update their practice.
What you will cover & format
Virtual Masterclass is a modular online package that people can move through independently as self-paced online learning:
Foundations: what Community Music is / isn’t; ethics; participation vs performance; boundaries
Workshop basics: session structure, timing, space, materials, safeguarding basics
Warm-ups toolkit: a bank of starts, resets, confidence builders
Facilitation basics: simple musical leadership structures that work with mixed skills
Co-creation taster: prompts and frameworks for making something new with groups
Templates + tools: session plan template, reflection + evaluation basics
Case examples: short PLC examples from Chemnitz / projects (to make it real, not abstract)
