This course is designed for non-specialists teaching music as an extra subject at KS3. This course will help you understand basic musical concepts, and will give you the skills and knowledge to teach music with confidence.
- Manager: Elizabeth Stafford
This programme aims to provide tools to support teachers in developing a
thriving music department and delivering a high quality curriculum
appropriate to their local context. It is suitable for anyone teaching
music in a secondary school, anywhere in the world, but will be of
particular relevance to those who are currently leading a department, or
working towards their first head of department role.
- Manager: Elizabeth Stafford
On this course you will reflect on how you learned music yourself and
how this impacts on the way that you teach it. You will be challenged to
consider how your current KS3 curriculum is balanced between formal, informal
and non formal approaches to music teaching to ensure that all kinds of musical
learners can be both engaged and challenged by what is on offer. You will also
explore the balance between different approaches to music learning to identify
what aligns with the needs of your students, your beliefs and values about
music education and the requirement to deliver a broad and balanced curriculum
at KS4.
