What resources are there for young leaders to run their own music clubs? 
​
Music leaders from the Disquiet project co-created a video channel with SparkedEcho and Musical Futures UK. The channel is structured as a series of short YouTube video clips that contain guidance on playing instruments, equipment setup and non-formal teaching.


The content was based on what young music leaders had found useful from trying out the Musical Futures teaching approaches.

​List of video titles:
  • Have you ever wanted to run your own music club?
  • 7 things to know before setting up a music space
  • 5 ways to stay safe when running your own music club ​
  • Quick tips on setting up musical instruments
  • Let's get you started on ukulele
  • Essential guitar strings and chords to get you started
  • Introducing the bass strings
  • Get to know your basic keyboard notes and chords
  • How to play drums using a chair
  • 5 tips for planning your music club sessions
  • 4 good teaching techniques to help you run a music club
  • Exercises to get your music group playing immediately
  • Try these easy exercises to get people singing
  • How to get everyone composing music

It is hoped this will be used as a resource by schools and youth groups across the UK, to inspire other young people to run music clubs. ​

Each clip is designed as a starting point, with links to other YouTube resources to find out more on a topic.
