If you are a music teacher you may have suffered performance-related injury or illness in the past. In which case you will be more attuned to the potential difficulties your pupils might experience. But you can’t foresee everything. Whether you are teaching a pupil from scratch or fine-tuning a more advanced student’s technique, we hope you will find something useful in our resources area. View our health-awareness resources – and tell your students too.
If a student comes to you with an illness or injury that is affecting their performance, suggest they get in touch with us (or approach their parents or guardians if appropriate). Contact the BAPAM clinic on 020 7404 8444.
If you are a manager in an educational institution you will find useful resources on aspects of health and safety and your duty of care in our health-awareness resources area.
You can also invite one of our health-care practitioners to speak at an in-house training event – contact clare@bapam.org.uk for details.
Teachers at all levels and in all disciplines are welcome to attend our induction days and training days. The programmes are a mixture of the technical and the practical, and you are sure to find information that will be useful in your teaching practice. See our training and professional development area for more information.
