Teaching Music in Primary Schools - Achieving QTS

Synopsis

Written for primary teacher trainees (both undergraduate and postgraduate), this book covers the range of music education from Foundation Stage to the end of KS2. It equips trainees to teach music confidently, whatever their level of musical experience or formal skills. All of the recommended practical and reflective tasks may be undertaken by both generalists and specialists. The book recognises the role of music in a creative and enjoyable classroom environment, as envisaged in Excellence and Enjoyment. As such, it encourages the use of music both for its own sake, and as a stimulus and support across the curriculum.
