Approved Tutor/Instrumental Tutor CPD
September 1st 2025
CPD
We look forward to continuing the great working partnership with all tutors of York in September at our Instrumental Tutors Training Day. The day is packed full of helpful and informative information, with hopefully numerous 'take-aways' to help you throughout the new academic year.
But, one of the best parts of the day is simply networking with other tutors and building those friendship / colleague relationships while eating some delicious cake from us.
Pleae note: Lunch can be purchased at the Clifton Explore Library and parking is availble.
Shared resources: Do you have any instrumental music books you no longer need, ABRSM exam books? Early instrumental teaching books? Bring them to the day and let's share and support each other.
