Music teachers needed to test new resources

Classroom ICT
A pilot music project is enlisting the help of pupils’ mobile phones in a bid to trial new teaching strategies and resources – and schools interested in getting involved are urged to get in touch.

Aimed at year 7 students, the scheme is based on singing and mobile phone music-making apps.

Organised Musical Futures, teachers are being invited to “road-test” the new resources via an online training, networking and support programme. The resources are then to be made freely available to all schools in May.

Abigail D’Amore, project lead for Musical Futures, said: “We’re aiming to involve as many music teachers as we can in the development of these new resources, which could transform the way music is taught in year 7 classrooms. 

“Using pupils’ mobile phones for exploring and creating music may help break down barriers to young people getting involved in music at school.”
