Teaching Music is a new website to help everyone involved in music education develop their knowledge and to strengthen connections between the formal and informal sectors. It is meeting a demand from educators to be more connected and share their knowledge.
Teaching Music sees music teachers becoming innovators in web 2.0 and social media. It builds on the success of campaigns such as Musical Futures, Music Manifesto, Wider Opportunities and Sing Up which have seen Music take huge leaps forward in recent years. Teaching Music was highlighted in Ofsted’s recent “Making More of Music” report as a way to connect isolated teachers and share best practice.
