Vic Holmes shares the findings of her masters dissertation research and explores how these can be applied on a practical level.
This session will explore:
- Challenging expectations/concept of what an early years music session looks like
- Working in partnership with practitioners both in the sessions and in-between
- How to grow music beyond the ‘music session’
- Building confidence / passing on musical learning
- Networking – being involved in networking groups/events which discuss early years music/early years education.
What will you gain?
- Information and ideas on how the musician and practitioners can work in partnership effectively to enhance music within the setting both in sessions and in-between.
- Information on identifying music in child’s play and how this will help musicians and practitioners to develop music in the setting.
- Resources, ideas and links to networks.
