Primary Subject Leader Network: Music
These sessions will be run by Hackney Music Service (HMS) and are all FREE.
Introduction
Our termly conferences for music practitioners are essential for fostering community among music educators, who often work in isolation as the sole specialists in their settings. These sessions provide opportunities to share best practices, resources, and teaching observations, as well as to collaborate on performances. They also facilitate cross-curricular partnerships, particularly with MFL, EYFS, and SEND networks, including a dedicated SEND Music network.
Despite being a legally required subject, music education is often undervalued and under-resourced. Specialist music teachers, who see each class weekly, deliver the most effective instruction, yet many schools rely on overstretched classroom teachers. Our network meetings, attended mainly by specialist teachers, offer critical professional development and quality assurance. They also grant access to diverse opportunities through partnerships with various professional music organisations, enhancing the inclusivity and richness of music education.
