Classroom composing activities

Three videos and resources separated into Y1-2, Y3,4 and Y5-6, designed to support the planning and delivery of composing activities in the Music National Curriculum – presented by Sue Nicholls. 

MEHEM is able to bring three CPD videos to support primary generalist teachers in East Midlands schools in their planning and delivery of composing activities in the Music National Curriculum.

The short videos are ideal for use in either weekly staff meetings, CPD days or individual PPA time and accompanying resources can be used to support teachers in the classroom delivery.
