Exploring Musical Development Matters with Nicola Burke

This session will explore Musical Development Matters, a free guidance that is available to download from Early Education. The course not only introduces participants to the guidance but also demonstrates how easily music can be incorporated into any early childhood setting without practitioners needing any previous musical knowledge or experience. Participants will also be introduced to the Tri-Music Together Self Evaluation Tool, a free interactive tool to support practitioners to develop their music practice and provision. This course will be delivered by Nicola Burke, author of Musical Development Matters, and will be workshop style, fun and interactive, exploring the role of music in all areas of learning and development.
