Whole Curriculum Approach Pamphlet Created by our Leeds Pathfinder, these materials build on the Extra Curricular section of last year's Teachers Pack. These resources provide schools with a wide range of work materials and tools to both personalise out of hours projects and connect them to curriculum learning.

Personalising Extra-Curricular Music Activities
for 11-18 Year Olds

Growing out of a range of practical projects these resources are split into 5 specific areas:

Section One - Breaking The Mould
This section - through text and video - offers a range of ideas for practical workshops. It is aimed at those practitioners who particularly want to focus upon creative activities which don't require students to be able to read and write music.

Section Two - Writers Unblocked
Here you'll find a step-by-step guide to running song writing sessions. Packed with tips, templates, ideas and extension activities.

Section Three - The Creative Use of Music Technology
A simple guide to using Music Technology creatively. It requires no previous experience, and will ensure that you don't get lost in geek-speak.

Section Four - Bollywood Ensemble
An example of how contemporary Asian music can be brought into ensemble activities, using the popular song "Kal Ho Naa Ho".

Section Five - Build Your Own Portfolio
There is now lots of interest in recording young people's musical progression, in and out of school. These downloadable tools will help your students build up a log of their musical experiences, which can be used to gain accreditation (in Leeds' case students submitted their log for the Youth Arts Awards). Music teachers, learning mentors, instrumental tutors and youth leaders will all find the portfolio a useful tool to support learning.
