Summer Term 2020 Changes and e-learning for schools

Resources to use at home or school

We have put together a list of online music resource links for use at home or school (EYFS - KS5). 
Please follow the link HERE to explore lots of options for engaging in musical learning.

TBMH Summer term approach to learning

Firstly, it is important to note that the TBMH has committed to paying its tutors for the full academic year based on all agreed teaching hours and feels strongly about supporting the musical workforce.

We will still be providing musical learning opportunities both as part of our Traded Service offer to schools (through existing Service Level Agreements), and to pupils/families who take part in our out-of-school activities. However, the activities will be changed. We have devised some new approaches to musical learning for the summer term that will help young musicians to still be engaged with music

Service Level Agreements with Schools Summer 2020

Our relationship with schools is paramount and we are trying to be creative, and pragmatic, in how we will continue to support schools and their pupils during an extraordinary time for education.

We are working hard with schools to create bespoke work that will be delivered in the summer term based on the contracted SLA hours. This may include:
-        Revising and/or writing Schemes of Work;
-        Creating teaching and learning resources;
-        Composing for bespoke ensembles;
-        Delivering some online instrumental learning to pupils who have individual or small group lessons (where technology and various permissions allow)
-        Offering online CPD support for school-based teachers who wish to develop their curriculum knowledge /resources

It is hoped that this work will strengthen school music provision and help prepare for the new academic year through this bespoke approach. All schools have been contacted about this and the TBMH team will be timetabling the summer term in the coming weeks.
