Oxfordshire County Music Service is to run a music CPD session for primary school teachers.
‘Are you listening?’ will take place on 28 April from 2–4pm at the Centre for Music, Bayswater Road in Oxford.
Led by Oxfordshire County Music Service teacher Jo Gill, the training session is for teachers who are already confident about the basics of music teaching and who wish to explore the listening and appraising strand of the music curriculum in greater depth.
This practical course will try out ideas for active listening across the primary age range, discuss choice of listening material, and consider how best to develop pupils’ analytical skills and their vocabulary for talking about music. Also included are ways to develop listening skills in the performing and composing strands of the curriculum, and how listening in music lessons can help develop children’s wider listening and attention skills.
The event is free, with places allocated on a first come, first served basis.
