Last month marked the end of our 2-year Future Leaders programme. It’s been an incredible experience for us at Drake Music, and we feel privileged to have worked with so many brilliant Young Disabled musicians over the course of 2 cohorts. We asked our second cohort to document their journeys, detailing their experience of programme. This included:
- A structured online training and development programme
- Online creativity sessions delivered by Drake Music Collective alum and Creative Facilitator, Miss Jacqui
- Running an independent project with a budget of up to £500
- Gaining practical experiences by shadowing professionals working within community music settings
- Participating at the Inclusive Music In Practice event in partnership with Sound Connections in London
- Monthly mentoring sessions with an experienced musician from the Drake Music community
