An award of £200,000 is set to benefit primary school music education in Birmingham.
The award – which comes from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation’s Arts-Based Learning Fund – has been made to Birmingham Contemporary Music Group to extend its Listen Imagine Compose Primary (LICP) programme.
Five primary schools will host a composer-in-residence, who will work with classroom teachers and the school Music Leads to create regular opportunities for pupils to compose and embed music-making into the school curriculum.
More than 600 schoolchildren in Birmingham will benefit from the initiative over a two-year period. In addition, teachers and composers from the participating schools as well as those from other schools will have the opportunity to meet, identify common challenges, share practice and learn together.
