This programme was designed for music educators to develop an appreciation and understanding of the potential to utilise new and emerging technologies to support the implementation of the primary music curriculum for music.

Over the programme duration (five workshops) Simply Music’s professional music education team delivered content which incorporated an overview of current relevant technologies for music education; access to instrumental and vocal practice and performance opportunities to develop teacher confidence within the classroom context; creativity in developing and delivering new and blended teaching approaches to enhance students experience in music performance and skills development and peer/shared-learning experience with other music educators.
