At Drums for Schools our overriding aim is to make music-making accessible to everyone, and our teaching support is designed for teachers who don’t have a music speciality, as well as those who do.
Our Teaching Guides, Schemes of Work and Lesson Plans are written by experts for non-experts and they don’t assume any prior experience or training – not even the ability to read music. The same goes for our CPD training, which will give you a thorough, practice-based grounding in the chosen musical tradition, complementing the approach followed in the Teaching Guides.
Our range of support for World Music teaching includes:
- Expertly written Teaching Guides
- Schemes of Work and Lesson Plans
- Background Articles
- Audio examples
- Video clips
- Original CDs and DVDs from around the world
- Posters for the classroom
- CPD training by leading authorities
- World Music workshops for pupils and staff
