Are You Listening?

For teachers who are already confident about the basics of music teaching, here is a chance to explore the listening and appraising strand of the music curriculum in greater depth. In this practical, hands-on course, we’ll try out ideas for active listening across the primary age range, discuss choice of listening material, and consider how best to develop your pupils’ analytical skills and their vocabulary for talking about music. We will also look at ways to develop listening skills in the performing and composing strands of the curriculum. Finally we’ll touch on the way listening in music lessons can help develop children’s wider listening and attention skills, with benefits for their learning in other subject areas.

Places are limited and allocated on a first come, first served basis.
