Annual Music Conference
Course overview
The music education sector has always been resilient in times of great change and challenge. In the wake of Coronavirus Pandemic, we will carefully consider how music and the arts have been impacted, how can we keep music education alive in our schools and community, and how we can use music as a tool to support recovery in its widest sense.
Challenges and chances: reset, remodel, rejuvenate.

Introduction
Our termly conferences for music practitioners are essential for fostering community among music educators, who often work in isolation as the sole specialists in their settings. These sessions provide opportunities to share best practices, resources, and teaching observations, as well as to collaborate on performances. They also facilitate cross-curricular partnerships, particularly with MFL, EYFS, and SEND networks, including a dedicated SEND Music network.
Despite being a legally required subject, music education is often undervalued and under-resourced. Specialist music teachers, who see each class weekly, deliver the most effective instruction, yet many schools rely on overstretched classroom teachers. Our network meetings, attended mainly by specialist teachers, offer critical professional development and quality assurance. They also grant access to diverse opportunities through partnerships with various professional music organisations, enhancing the inclusivity and richness of music education.

Wednesday, 25th September 2024
Update on the National Plan for Music Education and the Schools Music Development Plans. This session is an opportunity to get into questions about this in more depth, and to share good practice with writing a Plan for your school, including how to best use the various Self Evaluation Toolkits and Templates there are floating around. The main drive will be to discuss how to ensure the creation of a SMDP can be something genuinely useful for your school and to move away from it being an administrative exercise that the DfE 'expects' all schools to do, without it being officially mandatory.
