Music Teacher | July 2015
In this month’s percussion focus, we examine how setting up a world music programme in your school can transform whole-class teaching; profiling the options for drum kit exams; and how a marching band could be just the ensemble your school has been looking for. Plus, what not to miss at this summer’s Proms for you and your pupils; Claire Jackson decides whether tailor-made concerts for toddlers are pushy parenting or important opportunities for musical development; with laptops, electronic keyboard and gadgets so prevalent in the music classroom, tech correspondent Tim Hallas explores the merits of teaching a music lesson with no technology at all; best practice for protecting your students’ hearing from damage; the London Symphony Orchestra’s education programme – LSO Discovery – celebrates its 25 anniversary; and MT reviews the latest piano, violin and choral releases, books, technology and new products to use in your teaching.
