HMM Conference – tickets now live!

Embedding Equity: Inclusive by Design

Join us for Hear My Music’s first-ever conference, centred around sharing inclusive participant-led practice through the Sounds of Intent framework.

Our patron, Adam Ockelford, will deliver the keynote presentation, outlining the Sounds of Intent framework, and sharing his insights on his work and research in inclusive music education.

We are also delighted to welcome Mary Bell, a disabled musician/practitioner and HMM board member, who has been a pioneering force in the development of music education for d/Deaf people.

There will be a variety of theoretical and practical sessions throughout the day, including an interactive livestream with the pianist Derek Paravicini.

The conference is open to anyone working within, or with an interest in, inclusive music practice and inclusive education.

The conference will be supported by electronic note takers, supporting d/deaf atendees and anyone who prefers to process information through visual text.

Ticket price is ‘pay what you decide’. We would suggest £10 – £30.

We will be operating a Travel Buddy scheme for anyone who might need a bit of extra help getting to the venue, and for anyone who would like to offer help. We can meet you at a nearby train station/bus stop, or if public transport isn’t an option for you, we may even be able to pick you up from your home address.

You can book a space via Eventbrite here.
