Welcome to Learn to Play '22!
Thank you for signing up for this year’s Learn to Play event. If you have taken part in any of our previous Learn to Play days then you will have an idea of how they run. For 2022 we have designed this exclusive web page for participating venues only so you can easily access the latest updates and information required for you to run your Learn to Play event successfully and safely.
Please email ltpvenue@musicforall.org.uk if you have any questions.
Everyone had a great time and it definitely got people engaged with the instruments.
We all had such a great time and benefited hugely from getting involved.

We had a fantastic day on Saturday at Truro Library for the LTPD event, with a constant stream of children and parents trying the instruments.

The event went really well at the weekend... The verbal feedback from all of those taking part was really positive and hopefully we will have encouraged some more young people to sign up for lessons.

Risk assessments and health and safety policies
It is essential that all venues consider Safeguarding and Health & Safety procedures ahead of hosting their event and take the appropriate measures to ensure the venue has complied with the basic Health and Safety standards expected for a Learn to Play event.
We also strongly advise all venues to carry out an appropriate risk assessment before the 8 & 9 October.
HSE has some useful guidance and information regarding risk assessments, see here for more information.
The Musicians Union has also produced a useful set of risk assessment guides for personal assessment and for teachers
NSPCC have more guidance about writing safeguarding policies and procedures
