Music Connect receives funding from LMEP, the Leeds Music Education Partnership (of which ArtForms is the lead partner), which enables us to offer our training sessions to Leeds Schools and Academies at no charge.
Schools are entitled to send up to two delegates to any Music Connect training session. All training sessions are subject to change and will be regularly updated.
