Become an inspirational Secondary Music teacher

Many musicians wish to pass on their passion for music, just as they’ve been inspired by their music teachers. Sharing your passion for Music not only broadens pupils’ musical experiences and interests, but also helps them to build confidence, discipline and teamworking skills, all of which help them flourish as individuals.

 

We help you to plan effective sessions, using clear learning objectives, and show you how to model and adaptively teach key musical skills and concepts. We define what real musical learning looks like and sounds like and explore how we can ensure that pupils make musical progress both within and beyond the classroom.

 

Subject sessions explore the Secondary Music curriculum and how different schools may interpret its delivery according to their resources. These sessions are practical and led by a range of experts. You’ll get the chance to practise modelling these skills in university before using them on your placements in schools.
