Foundations for Excellence: Promoting health and wellbeing in talented young dancers and musicians
All Music and Dance Scheme partners are committed to promoting health and wellbeing and preventing injury and illness in talented young dancers and musicians. Following the Foundations for Excellence Music and Dance Scheme Conference at Dartington, Devon in 2009, our partners wished to provide more information to help anyone working with young dancers and musicians ‘know more, support more’ in this very important area of practice.
Download the Foundations for Excellence conference publication as well as the Principles and Practices statement which was drawn up after the conference to represent the collective wisdom of conference presenters and delegates. Hard copies of the conference publication are available to buy from the South West Music School.
Visit the Foundations for Excellence website to find a range of resources to help talented young musicians and dancers achieve their very best, whether in performance or in their general lifestyles.
