Grounded in solid research, this workshop is aimed at every teacher in every
school. We will show you how you can use music to improve literacy and
numeracy; promote well-being and team spirit through whole-school singing;
and influence mood/attention in the classroom. With loads of fabulous
free resources, the session has been designed to allow attendees to incorporate
great new ideas into their teaching right away.

• How you can use music to support curriculum areas from
  phonics and literacy to numeracy.
• How active engagement with singing can have an enormous impact on
  pupils’ intellectual, social and personal development.
• How whole-school singing, especially in assemblies, can promote
  team spirit and create a collaborative learning environment.
• How to influence mood and attention in the classroom
  through the use of music.

• A couple of fun warm-ups.
• Practical examples of how to use songs to support different
  learning styles across the general school curriculum.
• Great tips on how to teach songs and get the most out of them, using
  Take 5 Styles and Good Morning as examples.
• Introduction to the resource pack, which includes:
  • Lesson plans for 5-9s and 7-11s.
  • Play-Doh and ‘Top Trumps’ activities (amongst many others).
  • Curriculum activities with practical, creative examples showing how songs
    can support music lessons as well as the wider school curriculum.
  • Video content showing real-life examples of music activities in school.

Time permitting, the workshop will also include:

  guarantees that any teacher, no matter what their musical ability, will feel
  confident teaching songs and delivering great-quality music resources
  across the school curriculum.
