Lorraine offers music INSET for all teachers and support staff. The day is packed with practical activities, giving a large range of inspirational repertoire and a full pack of resources for future reference and use in class.
"My aim is to provide teachers with confidence and clarity in the understanding of Music and teaching of specific musical skills with a large emphasis on achievable tasks which can be used day to day in the classroom.
The content of the day will be flexible to the needs to each individual school.
DVD's of singing games and CD's of songs will be available on the day to assist learning and memory.
Teachers attending these INSETS have frequently commented on the relaxed, non-threatening approach and the huge amount of clarity and ideas that they are now using consistently in their teaching. (Please see TESTIMONIALS).
For costs of whole days, half days and twilight sessions, please see PRICE LIST.
The sessions will offer;
- The building blocks of rhythm and pulse teaching (and an overview of how to teach rhythm development from Reception to year 6).
- Singing can be an area where the most confident of teachers want to be swallowed up. We need to relearn the art of getting it wrong or at least not being perfect at everything. Children will learn to be inhibited through us and will equally learn to be self expressed and relaxed around music. Simple songs will be introduced, some we know, some which will be new.
- How best to teach a song
- Simple composition and conducting with physical gesture, devised scores and images which the children can easily understand.
- Instrumental work untuned and tuned, using xylophones and chime bars for compositions and to accompany singing
- An inspirational repertoire of singing games (dancing games, action games, rhythm games, name games, circle games, clapping games, skipping games and games involving choice and improvisation - all tried, tested and reknowned for their success.
- One to one tutorials with individual teachers to assess levels of skill and confidence
- 5-minute exercises which can be fitted into key times of the day ie registration or end of class, beginning of class. Including calming and energizing exercises for young children.
