Leadership Workshop Dates & Locations

Attend with your band, choir or orchestra!

Most Group Dynamic Youth Leadership Workshops are multi-school events that serve several high school music programs at once. One program serves as the host school to provide the location/facility and the lunch. Other schools are welcome and encouraged to attend. During the day-long session, some of the time is spent in large group presentation with Alan, but groups also have small-group time during the day to process information and work on leadership issues specific to their own programs.

If you see a date and location listed below that works for you, contact us at least two week in advance so that we can make sure space, lunch and materials have been arranged to accommodate your group. Contact us with any questions you may have about the experience.

Want to host your own workshop?

There are financial and logistical perks for being the host school! Contact us to learn more.
