If you love music, enjoy teaching kids from all backgrounds and are passionate about using singing to build community in London, please apply! P.s. I am also quite fun to work with :)

Excellent day for Music at @TheElmsSchool today. Choir restarted with separate, well-spaced rehearsals, and Year 3 whole class recorder lessons got off to a flyer thanks to ingenious instruments from @NuvoInstrument and super music from @sazzashrimp #candomusic @MusicTeachers_

With COVID-19 having a huge impact on the music-making landscape, today we are announcing that our Modulo Programme for state secondary schools will be free of charge offering vital support to music teachers and young musicians this year 🎉 (1/3)

Teacher recruitment is essential to make sure that school music continues. We've written to @GavinWilliamson to urge change. @sgtoyne writes: "Where there is an outstanding music department, the school itself is outstanding." (@ISM_music @musicmarkuk )

We're disappointed to hear @educationgovuk has withdrawn bursaries for music teacher trainees from the next academic year (2021).Opportunities to teach and access #MusicEducation should be at the heart of our schools curriculum and gov policy. #CanDoMusic

"Musically trained children performed better at attention and memory recall. They had greater activation in brain regions known to be associated with improved reading, resilience, greater creativity and a better quality of life"

Music Hubs are the engine room of music opportunities for young people - a partnership between schools, music services and musical organisations. Together with @HMC_Org, we call on ALL schools to be part of their local music hub @musicmarkuk

Two years ago my niece's school told her they wouldn't run GCSE music as not enough students wanted to do it. She refused to pick anything else and in the end convinced them to run it and 10 other pupils got to choose it to! She aced it and is now going on to study ALevel music!

'We urge the government to either extend the EBacc to include arts subjects, including music, or scrap it altogether. In light of the continued decline in music education... the National Plan for Music Education must be refreshed.’ @Bacc4theFuture

The DCMS guidance is not applicable to schools. Schools should use the @educationgovuk guidance at https://t.co/RktxFXMPaM. Singing and wind/brass playing in school is still possible.
