Wednesday, 5 May 2010. We have finally come to the end of our project culminating in our presentation to staff pupils and parents as part of the school's arts week. having just re-read tom's post below I can happily state the we exceeded out expectations by being able to include performances of 'jackaroos' involving all of the participants and 'john's diet' featuring John Roper and Connor Wilson. Sadly we didn't video the performance! Back in November shortly when the sound track is sorted. Which was to ...

Drake Music Curriculum Development Initiative: What's it like teaching BTEC Music in a special school (part 3)
http://drakemusiccdi.blogspot.com/2011/03/whats-it-like-teaching-btec-music-in_18.html
Drake Music Curriculum Development Initiative. Friday, 18 March 2011. What's it like teaching BTEC Music in a special school (part 3). In fact, I do spend the first few minutes of this weeks session talking - mumbling - but only to the laptop; it's a habit of mine, as I work through the routine of getting the software up and running, instruments etc. God knows what the kids think. But more "what are you enjoying, and for what reasons" (currently in the process of setting up tutorials to rebalance this).

Drake Music Curriculum Development Initiative. Thursday, 17 February 2011. What's it like teaching BTEC Music in a special school? Be assimilated successfully by other music educators, both in mainstream and special schools; but I hope that this bridging of a gap can be helped along by unpacking what happens in a Drake Music session - in this case, BTEC Entry Level Music. So, this week. Still no. Then we realise the order of the last two notes is also wrong.what's the solution? More in two weeks. I was j...

Drake Music Curriculum Development Initiative. Tuesday, 8 March 2011. What's it like teaching BTEC Music in a special school? Our take is to begin with a game of 'Just a Minute' i.e. having to make up stuff on the spot about a subject you've just been given. We take it in turns to talk, whilst the others form an audience, each holding a switch with a buzzer sound. It really is difficult to do and we find ourselves buzzing in with glee. In a Silent Way'.

Drake Music Curriculum Development Initiative: October 2009
http://drakemusiccdi.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Drake Music Curriculum Development Initiative. Friday, 16 October 2009. The kaleidoscope of provision: notes on the recent NAME conference. The recent experience of presenting on the Drake CDI at the NAME conference (enough acronyms? I use the word sector with due caution; despite all the. On the topic of communication, the sharing of best practice is particularly prescient for our own CDI work. From the start we were conscious of not 're-inventing the wheel'; we would have been delighted to have fou...

Drake Music Curriculum Development Initiative. Tuesday, 20 July 2010. Bradley breaks the glass ceiling! Bradley, our pilot student for our NOCN 'Introduction to Music' Course, successfully passed last week (four units, all at Level 1) This is obviously a significant achievement for him personally, overcoming many barriers along the way, and creating a quality portfolio which is both wide-ranging and musically surprising by turns. Lastly, it moves the goalposts in terms of music provision in this country ...

Drake Music Curriculum Development Initiative. Tuesday, 5 October 2010. Coalitions are, obviously, much in vogue in this country at the moment. Despite the oncoming train that is the October 20th announcement on spending cuts, the public appears to be, in the main, relatively content with the Conservative/ Liberal pact. There's a feeling that this might be a new, more sensible approach to dealing with the big issues, rather than the usual Westminster shout-ins and in-fighting. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
