Done! Retweeted and added this to my profile. Thanks #WeMusicteachers. It is good to see this international supportive and inspiring #musiced community growing. WeMusicTeachers

We started off chatting about the #ModelMMusicCurriculum and ended up straying very far away from its ideas! The best teachers work hard to remove/minimise the barriers to #music education helping children feel musical, inspired, motivated and know that their music matters.

I've got 5 mins between meetings so haven't started the Ofsted music research review yet, but this quote (attached) from Mark Phillips should set the the cat among the pigeons in some quarters of music education: "Just doing music isn’t enough" in bit.ly/3AS0ZsO

Prof Martin Fautley Stuart Birnie @SFE_MS Birmingham Education Evaluating pupils' work through listening, identifying, & correcting/suggesting/celebrating is what assessment in music is all about. Not jumping through hoops and/or ticking a checklist. The latter takes up too much curriculum time and does not improve musical understanding. 1/2

Have you booked your free ticket to ISM Trust's free online music education conference this Saturday 27 Nov? There will be a keynote from Mark Phillips, Ofsted National Lead for Music, plus panel discussions, music, and more. #UKMusicEd ism.org/professional-d…

Delighted to be able to share the Huntington School Music Department, York story of how we’re gradually getting live music making back on track after 18 months of silence. Music Teachers Association Music Teacher Huntington School York Music Hub

Anyone else? #WeMusicTeachers

.@IanBauckham sets out "emergency" measures schools may need this term to tackle high levels of teacher absence: tes.com/magazine/news/…

We probably shouldn’t stop teaching a subject that helps young people feel happy, helps them express themselves, helps them deal with trauma, helps them connect with each other, & helps them learn about the world around them. Yeah, we probably shouldn’t stop teaching them music.

#WeMusicTeachers fancy writing a post for this shared blog?

Are you a music teacher with a view on whether children should learn to compose music primarily using the more 'traditional' pencil and paper method? We want to hear from you! Email [email protected] 📧

Agree with @Philcastang #appgmusiced that there is no ‘golden age’ of music Ed. But let’s recognise the advances that have been made since the 70s to open up Mus Ed to more young people and diff musical traditions. These advances now need to be defended as well as built on.

Tomorrow at 10am is the inaugural 'European Day of Music in Schools' org. by brilliant folk from the eas-music.org It would be wonderful if colleagues from the UK could join at some point. Will last 1 hour. Zoom liedm.zoom.us/j/86737091634 Youtube youtu.be/tJIh2LDW62E

Cambridge International Education IGCSE Music:"Composition 2 may be notated in whatever form of notation is appropriate"; compare with "alternative notation should not be used for any piece which is capable of being notated in staff notation". 🤔🤨 #musiced #wemusicteachers #internationalschools
