'Whole Class Instrumental Work: Year 7' outlines the first project of a programme that aims to follow on from students' Wider Opportunities experiences and prepare them for Musical Futures work
This programme for Year 7 students is developed by Nottingham City Music Service (one of the original Musical Futures pathfinders) and Nottingham City schools, and has the following aims:
- To provide appropriate transition and progression into secondary music education for students who have experienced Wider Opportunities in their primary schools, and to accommodate those who haven’t
- To provide an appropriate link between Wider Opportunities and Musical Futures, as well as the secondary Key Stage 3 strategy for music
- To meet the requirements of the new Key Stage 3 National Curriculum, delivered in a manner that merges traditional classroom practice with instrumental teaching, and where every student learns/continues to learn a musical instrument
- To reduce the number of instrumentalists giving up shortly after moving to secondary school
Whole Class Instrumental Work: Year 7 is by: Ian Burton, Hannah Crawford, Claire Dyer (all Nottingham City Music Service), Andy Wolfe (Nottingham Emmanuel School)
Permissions to arrange scores for Toca Bonito and Tequila have been granted by kind permission of Music Sales.
