It’s easier than you think!
Teachers confide that they feel ill-equipped to teach music to their Primary school classes.
They doubt their own musical skills and often believe musical ability is something you’re born with.
No one has taught them how to break down the skills into their age-appropriate microsteps in the same way they have for literacy and numeracy
It’s no wonder they think teaching music is difficult!
So they either use a video, avoid altogether or head straight into music theory with children who are still not fluent in reading words.
I’ve seen it. And it’s heart-breaking to watch.
If this sounds like you, I’m here for you.
I’m determined to help you by sharing EASIER and MORE EFFECTIVE strategies for teaching music.
Here are four essential musical skills that teachers should be focussing on with their beginner music classes.
Aimed at EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage – Ages 4 to 5) and KS1 (Key Stage 1 – Ages 5 to 7)
