Info:
Primary School Music Teacher Wanted - No experience necessary. ICT to support non-music specialists in teaching music. Introducing Skoog töo - A musical world for the interactive whiteboard.
Technology can bring 'music making' opportunities to all children regardless of ability or experience. Just as children learn to talk by experimenting and listening, they can learn to make music by experimenting and listening, helped by being placed in surroundings that are full of invitations to learn'. This session will demonstrate the Skoog töo interactive whiteboard environment for teaching, learning and creating music. The demonstration will show how non-music specialists can provide a broad music education which includes performing, composing, listening, reviewing and evaluating, helping to deliver one of the key recommendations from the 2011 Henley report. Learn how to supporting children’s natural musicality and provide a learning environment that allows children to explore music through creative play and discovery.
