Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

This page lists forthcoming CPD courses run by external organisations. It also lists details of competitions and awards and is updated regularly.  The entries are divided into two sections, Conferences & Courses and Awards, Contests & Scholarships.

The ISM also runs several seminars each year. Details of current seminars can be found here. Alternatively, join our mailing list to be kept up-to-date by email.

Instrumental and vocal teachers may be interested in the Music Teaching in Professional Practice (Mtpp) Initiative, which Reading University has been running since 1994 in partnership with the ISM. This postgraduate programme enables private and other instrumental and vocal teachers to study by distance-learning for a recognised qualification while continuing to work in their studios.
