Teacher Nurture: Sound Experiments

For specialists and novices alike, these friendly, supportive series’ of three online twilight sessions aim to ignite (or re-ignite!) the flame of inspiration and confidence for you, as a creative person and as a teacher or TA.  

During this series, Musician Laura Forster will take you on a journey that explores sounds and lyric writing in playful ways.

You’ll discover your inner musician – pick up that dusty guitar and reconnect with singing for pleasure, or making music just because it feels good.  

The course is particularly relevant for non-specialist teachers, as we will use instruments such as tuned and untuned percussion, keyboards, ukelele and other instruments that you likely have in school.  You’ll explore writing songs in very simple and accessible ways that you can do on a daily or occasional basis with your class, even shedding new light on cross-curricular topics through music!  

The workshops will be fun, open and allow time to discuss and ask questions..  

Each session will:  

  • Explore a new technique 

  • Build upon the previous week’s technique 

  • ask questions and explore how you can embed your new skills into your working day  

  • offer a piece of practical homework, for you – or even better, for your class
