The Scottish Music Industry Association has launched a new course aimed at helping musicians cope with life during the current pandemic and lockdown.

Part of the SMIA Workshops series, ‘Maintaining a Healthy Work/Life Balance During the Coronavirus Crisis‘ looks at the unusual situation that we may find ourselves in presently – pointing out, for example, that as “many people would have a commute… maintaining a work/life balance might have been more manageable before we were affected by Covid-19.”

Hosted by Halina Rifai of A Sonic Hug – an online and offline mental health safe space – the course is open to SMIA members, who can simply login to access the materials.

Although membership of the SMIA is required to take part in their courses, Basic Membership is free, while there are enhanced benefits to be had from the various flexible membership packages.
