Felton Music courses and workshops are designed with 6 principles in mind:
the content emerges from what people feel they would like to learn and that can be delivered
music learning has to fit round other things in people's lives, so courses are short, and sessions have alternative dates or work on a drop-in basis
potential participants are consulted about dates and times
learning works best when people are engaged and relaxed
costs are kept low, just covering materials, refreshments, and room hire when necessary – some groups meet in people's houses
nothing is offered that will detract from or undercut other learning opportunities in the area
