Aurora Orchestra Learning, the latest subscription platform designed to support primary teachers in the delivery of classroom music, has been launched for early years, nursery, reception, Year 1, Year 2, and SEND settings.

Created by London-based Aurora Orchestra, the programme has been ‘mapped against’ the national curriculum and the Model Music Curriculum (MMC), and features content produced by the orchestra’s players and creative team in collaboration with other artists and children’s poet Kate Wakeling.
