DURHAM MUSIC SERVICE PROVISION FOR SCHOOLS 2016-17 Durham Music Service
I am delighted to introduce our new and exciting range of services for schools. Durham Music Service aims to support every child, whatever their age, ability or background throughout their musical journey. We have a proven track record of providing the very best learning opportunities delivered by our team of highly skilled musicians and educators. Year on year, there is growing evidence of the many benefits of musical learning. Schools have told us that programmes have not only developed pupils’ love of and confidence in music, but enhanced their personal and educational development as a whole. Our thorough knowledge of the primary music curriculum means that, whatever your requirements, whether it be specific support at a certain age range, or assistance with developing a bespoke Whole School Music Plan, Durham Music Service can support your school in creating exciting and innovative learning experiences for every child. Details of our musical pathways can be found below with more detail in the following pages.
