About this Event
Join our accessible music facilitators for a friendly gathering aimed at celebrating and empowering leaders of music education in special schools! This event is a unique opportunity for music educators to come together, share insights, highlight great resources, unpick challenges and discuss good practice, as well as a place for our newer music leads to gather inspiration and ideas!
The session on Tuesday 3rd March will focus on all of the practical considerations involved in running music activities in special schools - from best ways to add moments of intensive interaction within group lessons, how to model musical engagement for other staff in the room (who may be less confident with music) along with top tips for really practical tweaks and equipment we return to again and again.
All music leads welcome – no prior experience necessary, but all expertise valued!
