This course will enable participants to further their understanding of:

• Enabling Musical Environments: the importance of music making in the Early Years and Key Stage 1
• Developing confidence in effective planning for musical activities and opportunities to ensure a progressive music curriculum from EYFS into KS1
• Using own topics to explore creative music with groups/classes, with reference to the new Model Music Curriculum

We will explore the music curriculum and how to make it work in your setting through practical activities designed for early years’ and key stage 1 pupils. The session will encourage nervous (terrified!) practitioners in writing and delivering the music curriculum, consider planning and delivering lessons and how to assess learning to ensure a progressive curriculum for your children. The aim is to end the day thinking, ‘Hooray! It’s Music next!’

Participants will:

• Enjoy practical music making to understand curriculum requirements
• Plan activities using the Edsential Music skills grid to understand progression in music
• Explore transition from EYFS Early Learning Goals, to the National Curriculum
• Be introduced to the new Model Music Curriculum
