Background Information to the focus for the day which will all be hosted online.
The TBMH works hard to offer training to its tutors that is relevant, can be practically used in your teaching and tackles areas that might not usually be addressed. All tutors who are currently working for the TBMH are encouraged to attend this CPD day and can claim £75 for the day.
You must register here by Monday 29th March, so we have an accurate list of tutors who wish to attend the day.
Once you have registered we will be sending you a booking link for the Music Mark webinars. You must complete the booking link in order to generate your unique joining codes for the webinars.
The Music Hub will send out a zoom link for (session 4) the staff meeting separately.

In a relaxed and conversational format, this session led by Kenny Baraka will provide a cursory – yet informative – overview of hip hop [rap, grime, trap and drill] and its musical conventions as well as a practical approach to formulating and writing bars; including key considerations and easy to use strategies.

Session Three: 2.00 – 3.15pm: Listen Imagine Compose: Composing for instrumental teachers
Led by Sound and Music and exploring their work as part of Listen, Imagine, Compose, this session will include multiple speakers from academics to instrumental teachers and will look at making composition less intimidating.
Young musicians are naturally open to experimenting and creating music as they develop and explore their instrumental skills. In this session, we will explore how instrumental teachers can help young players develop their all-round musicianship through composing and creating as part of their lessons. There will be practical ideas for activities in 1-2-1 lessons and whole class ensemble teaching to try out during the session, and some food for thought from Martin Fautley.
