Discover training resources
Discover (formerly known as ITP) exists to make music education fairer and tackles one of the biggest obstacles to talented young people’s musical progress: many teachers have limited experience of how to identify musical potential in the first place.
Funded by Arts Council England through their Hub Support Programme, this new initial phase will see Young Sounds UK reach over 1000 teachers across England, exploring the skills they need to spot the next generation of musical talent.
