Professional Musicians in the Classroom


Musicians supporting delivery of Music Curriculum

Central to the project is the classroom support angle, where a professional musician visits each of the pilot schools bi-weekly to support the delivery of the music curriculum.

Each school involved in the project has interpreted classroom support differently to the other ensuring they receive the best use of the support for their school.

Classroom support has taken on a variety of forms across the project, from in-depth planning sessions with teachers and team-teaching of curriculum modules to providing practical classroom solutions and developing whole-school strategies for music.

The classroom support has also developed the creation of new ensembles in schools such as choirs and bands as well as providing CPD training for teachers.

Children have had the opportunity to explore a series of new practical solutions supporting the aims and objectives of the curriculum units including creating a mock-jazz and blues band with children and teachers improvising and scat singing!
