Schools often invest in premade resources, developed to enable specialists and generalists to teach the music curriculum in a fun and interactive way. Teachers, however, are still saying that they ‘lack confidence delivering the curriculum’, ‘recognise their lack of musicianship’, and ‘struggle to give feedback’, according to Ofsted's 2023 report Striking the Right Note.
Are we sometimes guilty of just ‘putting the resource on’? What activities could enhance the resource to captivate the children ‘in the moment’? Teachers know their children well, so let's use this knowledge to go beyond the resource.
A variety of premade interactive resources are available to primary schools today. They satisfy every need SLTs could ask for to ensure that music is covered across the school. The companies offer ongoing, free CPD and create strong partnerships with music hubs and multi-academy trusts, constantly improving provision in response to government guidelines.
