Cueing to Music Level 2 ONLINE took place on Tues 24 Nov 2020
SMA and our course leader Andrew Killian ran a pilot course online for Cueing to Music Level 2
It was a new initiative for SMA. Andrew has been teaching similar content to drama school groups via Zoom/Teams etc for nearly a year now, and the results have been very successful
We received some great feedback and expect that future courses will run others in 2021.
WATCH THIS SPACE!
Initially would you please express interest in booking in a future online course please write to us under the heading I am still interested on CtM2 online .
