Warwickshire Music: Supporting your vision

 

We all want to ensure that our students enjoy a memorable experience while at school.  We all know that music is a major part of the life of nearly every young person. We also know that with rising stress levels amongst students, music can have invaluable benefits on the wellbeing of our young people.

How students feel about themselves is crucial to their learning and narrowing the gap has to mean continuing to offer a breadth of experience and opportunity.

Warwickshire Music is the lead organisation for the Warwickshire Music Hub. This means that we can support schools in all sorts of ways to realise their vision and give their students a memorable experience.

   

  

Substantial Hub funding gives partner schools the opportunity to access a large range of advice and resources including instruments, IT and sound recording/PA equipment. Schools are also able to benefit from exciting and high quality programmes and partnerships that offer a memorable experience to children of all ages.

• Singing for Sounds is a unique language development programme for children in nursery and reception – allaying parents’ fears over speech and language development in young children and phonics testing in key stage 1.
• UpBeat offers whole class instrumental tuition in over 100 schools – highlighting the ethos that ‘every child matters’.

‘Upbeat is too good not to have it in my school curriculum’

• Playtastic is a unique approach to creating the school band from scratch – encouraging communication and social interaction between children.

‘I didn’t know what a violin was; now I’m playing one!’

•  World Music and Rock & Pop initiatives provide exciting workshops for all ages – creating “memorable experiences” and interaction between all ages.
