Conference workshops

BAMT Conference 2021

Open Ground: Music Therapy in Collaboration and Exchange

9th - 11th April 2021, Online

Reminder: Workshop booking opens 12 noon on 7th April

Dear Conference Delegates,

This year's conference offers an exciting range of workshops which will take place online on Saturday & Sunday. The workshops are always in high demand and this year, and to make booking as fair and simple as we can we have set up an online booking process which we hope you will find easy to navigate with the instructions below.

Due to the nature of some of the workshops there are some which have a limited capacity for both participants and observers.  To offer all delegates a chance to book for workshops, we will be sending out two emails on two separate dates with online booking opportunities. Half of the places for each workshop will be made available in the first email, and the remaining half will be made available in the second (except for the workshop ‘The therapist’s authentic use of self and reverie in music therapy’; all places for this workshop will be made available on 31st March)

Please save the dates and times of when these emails will be sent out so that you can plan to be available online to book for the workshop you wish to attend. (Times are GMT). Booking is on a first come first served basis. If workshops are taking place at the same time, we would ask that you only book to attend one workshop.
