MEHEM UpRising! has launched a free online resource for educators making music in inclusive settings, supported by the Music Education Hubs East Midlands consortium.

Resource Balloon presents bitesize, practical advice learned from the first three years of the Youth Music funded UpRising! project. The materials were created after instrumental and classroom teachers requested teaching to be grounded in the needs of individual learners.

The aim is for tutors and music hubs to prioritise inclusivity, and develop collaborative projects.

Project lead Ben Sellers said: ‘We have met many fantastic educators as part of UpRising, and wanted to share their expertise with colleagues across the country. The Balloon's focus is on video content, carefully edited to allow busy teachers to address specific needs with integrity and depth. We hope it will be useful to all those making music with young people for many years to come.’
