Incredibly lucky to have spent the day with @CBeqMacD - an inspiring series of in-school workshops and choir sessions. Feeling fuelled and motivated to implement fresh ideas to renew our whole school choral framework with exciting and challenging repertoire choices.

The morning after the concerts before…

Wishing all music educators and choir leaders out there a restorative and merry festive break. 🥂

[Anna Rusbatch @AnnaRusbatch]

This was a rather gorgeous skylight last night, leading me out of concert season at work and into the weekend… 🥂

@jasonching98 @jasonching98 - With floor staves using 2-3 lines I often increase the width between the lines to allow children to physically jump melodic shapes and patterns. I also use laminated rhythm notes and P.E. cones. Have you used floor staves for teaching?

@jasonching98 @jasonching98 - The children are under strict instructions not to pick at the tape with their fingers! I tend to replace the floor stave tape every half term. Sometimes it’s the full five lines. Sometimes just two lines to notate tones 3, 5 and 6 (mi, so, la).
