We believe music should be a central, pulsating part of your school’s culture, not just a subject tucked away on the timetable. So, is your music program a chart-topper, or could it use a remix to get everyone’s toes tapping?
At Sing Education, we’re not just about hitting the right notes; we’re about creating a vibrant, musical heartbeat in schools. We believe music should be a central, pulsating part of your school’s culture, not just a subject tucked away on the timetable. So, is your music program a chart-topper, or could it use a remix to get everyone’s toes tapping?
The National Plan for Music Education (NPME) is like the ultimate playbook for music in schools. It envisions a world where all children have the chance to sing, play instruments, and create music together, and to take their musical journey as far as they dream. This ambitious plan is built around three key goals: ensuring high-quality music education for all children, making sure music educators work in partnership with children’s needs at the heart of their work, and creating opportunities for children and young people to progress their musical talents as far as their passion takes them. The question is, is your school following the NPME’s lead?
The NPME champions a robust music curriculum, ideally delivered by a specialist music teacher, for at least one hour per week for Key Stages 1 to 3…. But let’s be real, a fantastic music program needs more than just curriculum time. It’s about the whole package – how everything connects to create a school-wide musical buzz. It’s about getting every student involved, making music a way of life, not just a lesson or a once-a-year concert…. It’s about building skills, creating memories, and inspiring a lifelong love of music.
So, how is your school doing? Is it hitting the right notes with the NPME and your own Music Development Plan? Let’s check the score:
Your school’s Music Development Plan should act as your very own musical blueprint…. It needs to demonstrate how you’ll deliver an outstanding music program and how it aligns with your school’s wider vision…. Crucially, it should include key elements of high-quality music provision, such as timetabled curriculum music, access to a range of instrumental lessons, a school choir, an ensemble, and regular performance opportunities for students.
