We are looking for expressions of interest to take part in Listen Imagine Compose- our innovative new Continuing Professional Development course for secondary music teachers, now with option for accreditation! Listen Imagine Compose is a partnership project between Sound and Music, Birmimgham Contemporary Music Group and Birmingham City University. It investigates how composing is taught and learned in secondary schools and draws on the expertise of teachers and their pupils, composers, music education academics and arts organisations. Since 2010, it has been undertaking action research, holding symposia and running CPD. The project continues to develop. Phase 1 Phase 1: Comprised a series of symposia and six action research questions that look at six key questions. These ranged from examining strategies for creative learning in music, to ways of evaluating pupils' work, the role of listening, and on the importance of introducing students to music they did not know. The project also studied how expert performers and composers can best be used and how ICT can be used creatively in composing and performing. This culminated in the publication of a major report by Lead Academic Professor Martin Fautley detailing ways that every school can support young people learn to ‘Listen, Imagine, Compose’. Phase 2 Phase 2: Drawing on the recommendations of the Phase 1 report, the Listen Imagine Compose team designed a Continuing Professional Development course for secondary teachers which was piloted during the 2014/15 academic year. This was delivered in Birmingham and in London in partnership with Teach Through Music. Phase 3 Phase 3: The Listen Imagine Compose partners are offering the CPD from September 2016. It will be available across the country and can be delivered locally in response to demand. It will have an option for accreditation by Birmingham City University as a Diploma or MA in Teaching and Learning. The CPD offers secondary music teachers the opportunity to develop skills in teaching composing with KS3, GCSE and A level students. |
