100 Ideas for Primary Teachers: Making Musical Schools

2017 | Children

100 Ideas provides simple ideas, which are easy to implement, to make primary schools more musical. There are very few resources for primary schools which provide easy dip-in ideas on how to incorporate music within the school day and this book brings together a large number of ideas to inspire and equip teachers, and share good and innovative practice. Music doesn't have to be scary, and there are lots of ways to use music throughout the whole school, in and outside of the curriculum, and at different times of the year. These easy dip-in ideas and activities go across the spectrum, with ideas teachers can take on board easily. * Musical activities * Warm-ups and skill builders * Singing assemblies * Putting on a school musical * Simple concert performances * Inclusion * Liaising with visiting music teachers * Technology * School recordings & CDs * Composers of the week * Visual displays * After-school clubs * Greeting and goodbye songs * Songs to instruct children for activities (make a circle) * Supporting the curriculum music * Liaising with music hubs and external musicians
