Free CPD Session
Thu 24 May 5.30–7pm, City of London School for Girls
As part of this concert, schools will be asked to join in with the performance of Kerry Andrew’s 'No Place Like', so you will need to get your students prepared! Teachers bringing classes to the concert are invited to attend a free CPD session on 24 May 2018, where BBC Singer Edward Price will be leading a creative session exploring how to teach your pupils the piece.
To reserve your place at the CPD please use the title ‘Booking for No Place Like CPD Session, 24 May’ and email your name and contact details to [email protected].
If you are unable to make this session you can use our online guide to help you teach the piece instead, but we would prefer you to join us on 24 May if you can. See here for online guide.
For any additional information about the CPD session please email [email protected] or call 020 7765 0557
