What People Say About Teaching the BTEC Tech Award in Music Practice: a Practical Approach

“Becoming more familiar with the amazing resources on Musical Futures, and taking inspiration of how to use them creatively in the classroom. Seeing the course leader in action was great, and as always, sharing ideas, queries and issues with other Music teachers was reassuring and useful.”

“The component 1 stuff about linking styles (blues/rock n roll), using the Musical Futures Online resources to consolidate knowledge in a practical way. The composition extensions were useful too and would work well with my groups”
