Secondary Hackney Music Service

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. 

Who should attend?

The conference is targeted at Head Teachers / SLT, Subject Leaders for Music and the Arts in both Primary and Secondary settings, all general Classroom Teachers involved in delivering the music curriculum, NQTs, teachers from SEND settings, School Governors, Instrumental Tutors, Music Hub Network Partners and Cultural Organisations making a local offer. Essentially, anyone who has an interest in Music Education in Hackney.
