In our Primary Schools Conference yesterday we were lucky enough to be joined remotely by Chris Stevens, Chief HMI for Music via Zoom to present and take questions on best practice for assessment in Music in the morning sessions. As ever, he gave plenty of food for thought. In the afternoon the inspirational Ben Lawrence from the British Kodaly Academy led a practical session on strategies for using Kodaly approaches to teaching music in the Primary Classroom, with a firm focus on singing as a starting point for all musical learning. We had a great day!!#WhereWillMusicTakeYou ... See MoreSee Less
