Morning Session
Ex-HMI for Music - Mark Phillips
Mark was HMI for Music up until September 2022 and has up to date knowledge of music education and Ofsted.
The National Plan for Music (NPME) was launched last year; The Power of Music to change Lives. Mark Phillips will delve into this new plan and help us understand what it means for your setting.
Within this plan three distinct but interlinked areas of provision are highlighted, that when all in place offer a high-quality music education for our young people. These are:
- Curriculum Music
- Instrumental and Vocal Lessons
- Musical Events and Opportunities
Along with this there is an expectation that all schools should have a Music Development Plan that brings these areas into focus.
Keeping to the vision of the NPME, Leicestershire Music have put together a day of training, to give you food for thought in these areas, through training from National Experts in music education.
Afternoon Session
Jon Kille & Hugh Nankivell (Awards for Young Musicians) (AYM)
Acclaimed Identifying Musical Talent and Potential (ITP) training exists to make music education fairer. It tackles one of the biggest obstacles to young people's musical progress - identifying those with talent and potential, especially in whole class or larger group settings.
In this session, the facilitators will lead participants through musical games and activities designed to help them spot potential in their students, and introduce AYM's 8 Facets of Musical Potential. They will draw on their work with Special Schools and with Open Up Music. The training will be supported by film resources made in four settings (primary, secondary, special school and a young carers group), which highlight the identification of musical potential in a range of young people, along with a range of additional take away resources.
