Musical Futures at Rawlins Community College

• Five years implementing Musical Futures approaches
• Informal Learning: In at the Deep End and Guide to Songwriting allows aural skills, musicianship and teamwork to develop pre-existing skills
• Informal Learning fits well with BTEC course
• Student voice is encouraged through use of NUMU 
• BTEC National Performance students offer guidance on instrumental technique in KS4 lessons whilst developing their own mentor and coaching skills

Why Musical Futures?
“We have used year 12 and 13 students to work in our feeder high schools with huge success particularly with Year 8 pupils. Results include many Year 8 pupils now wanting to make music at lunchtimes, have instruments for birthdays and Christmas and improved relationships in social and study time."
