Our musicians and teachers are committed to the very best music education. We make sure that they have access to good quality training and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) so that our children, families and schools receive the very best musical opportunities and development. We create new resources, we share good practice with our partners and we train our teachers to deliver to the highest standards.
All workshops and training sessions will be led by highly skilled music specialists and classroom practitioners from Bolton Music Service and our partners. The sessions are suitable for all classroom teachers and music practitioners, regardless of knowledge or experience. The focus is on bringing together music teachers and practitioners, sharing common aims and objectives.
Bespoke training packages can be arranged on request. Please ring 01204 333533 for further details.
The Early Years Music Network meetings are an opportunity for adults who work with children age 0-5 years to share ideas for using music within different early years settings. We try out new songs, share ideas for using musical instruments and props, look at different musical games, different resources, and at ways in which musical activity can contribute to the delivery of the wider EYFS curriculum. The network aims to engage with early years practitioners, teachers, childminders and adults working with young children in community and outreach programmes
