Care Service Survey: Musicians training for working in Care

We are Live Music Now, a charity working across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, delivering social impact through music.

We support the musical lives of people in care homes by connecting musicians with the people who live and work in them. This includes one-off concerts as well as longer residencies, participatory music-making, creative songwriting, and developing the musical skills of care teams.

You can find out more here.

We train professional musicians to be able to work well in the places they visit and with the people they meet to ensure quality of practice and the best outcomes for all.

The training is underpinned by a competencies framework which covers all aspects of their practice: planning and preparation; session content; engaging participants and care service; developing a reflective approach.

It is very important to us that this framework is relevant, practical, and informed by the people we work with.

We would be very grateful if you would take the time to complete our short survey below. There are no right or wrong answers; any information you provide us with will be of interest and value.

All respondents will be entered into a prize draw for a free live concert with LMN musicians or a pamper kit for you and your team! Be sure to let us have your contact details and permission to contact you so that we can get back to you if you are the winner.

Deadline for completion is 25th March 2022.

If you would like to receive or complete this survey in a different format, email wellbeing@livemusicnow.org.uk or call 0151 222 0018.
