Our 2nd edition teacher resource pack  defines Musical Futures by the styles of teaching: non-formal teaching (drawing on practices of community musicians, whole-class music making) and informal learning (student led, teacher/practitioner taking on the role of a coach rather than a director).

You don't have to be approved by Musical Futures to use or adapt the approaches in your school or teaching situation. All of the principles and ideas can be developed by teachers and other music practitioners, often with little or no extra support or funding.
