We will be holding our ever-popular ‘Teaching Music with iPads- Developing Musicianship Through Creativity’ one day training course twice this Autumn:

15th October – London – Bloomsbury Central Baptist Church  WC2H 8EP -9.30am – 4pm
16th October – Birmingham – Birmingham University Campus, Edgbaston -9.30am – 4pm
The course is designed for both specialist and non-specialist musicians at KS 1 – 3, including those who have never touched an iPad before!
Over the course of the day, we will look at tasks that develop musicianship and knowledge of music theory through structured composition and improvisation tasks. You will leave with a wealth of effective, practical ideas that can be used immediately in the classroom. Activities will be based on best practice when using tablet technology to teach music, with clear links to the New National Curriculum and a strong cross-curricular emphasis.

 

The day will cover:

  • A hands-on, beginners guide and overview to four key high-impact music-making apps, including Garageband.
  • Creating music videos and film soundtracks.
  • Creating iPad ensembles.
  • Working with SEN/D and hard-to-engage students.
  • A free paperback copy of the ‘Teaching Music with Garageband for ipad’, which includes complete lesson plans and assessment material for immediate classroom delivery
  • Integrating iPads into the wider music life of the school, including choirs and peripatetic teaching.
  • An equipment guide.

The day is led by Ben Sellers, teacher, musician and author of acclaimed textbook ‘Teaching Music with Garageband for iPad’, and has been developed using the cross-curricular approach to raising standards developed by David Andrews and Chris Williams from Mr Andrews Online.

 

The cost of the day is £175 + VAT, but we are offering a 25% discount earlybird discount to delegates who sign up before 31st August – £130.

“The whole day’s session was really well paced and I felt that you really helped me understand how the iPads could be used to help the children explore composition in a really meaningful way.   Your explanation about finding a rhythm, harmony and melody, with a simple 8-bar structure using Garageband was powerfully simple and clever, giving the children complete empowerment to create songs that sound very sophisticated. ” – NAHT Conference Delegate
