Musical Futures

This Musical Futures pack helps to deliver co-ordinated music learning, as advocated by the Music Manifesto.

It consists of four sections: introduction to personalising music learning; classroom resource for informal music learning at Key Stage 3 (with CD-ROM and audio CD); the whole curriculum approach - inclusive music practice at Year 8 (with DVD-ROM) and a guide to personalising extra-curricular music for 11-18 year olds.

Practices featured include the use of other 'music leaders' within the classroom and after-schools projects led by community musicians or music services. Musical Futures brings extra-curricular approaches into the formal curriculum.

A key theme running across the Teachers' Resource Pack is collaboration between schools, music services and non-formal sector organisations.

To order the pack, go to the Musical Futures: Teachers Resource page in the Online Publications section on TeacherNet.

For further information on the pack, visit the Musical Futures website.

Comments from users of the Musical Futures pack

"Musical Futures is going the way music should be - fun, engaging and not elite."

"Good teaching strategies, ideas for getting extra money and involving professional musicians in the classroom."

"If the kids I teach find it as much fun and satisfying as I have then the future looks very bright and exciting."
Teacher responses to Tower Hamlets CPD Day

"I downloaded and studied the 4 teacher resource packs and yesterday had a meeting with the Head Teacher to plan to start delivering Musical Futures in Yr 8 in Sept 06. I have to say that I am blown away by the curriculum and cannot wait to start it!!

Many thanks"
