Primary Meet-up

February 11th 2026

CPD

Please see the revised date for this postponed meeting! We hope that the later date finds you more settled into the term after the busy-ness of Christmas and we look forward to joining as many of you there as possible...you won't want to miss it!

We feel particularly spoilt on this occasion as we welcome Liz Stafford as our main speaker. Many of you will know her name; an internationally recognised music education expert, teacher, lecturer and author. With a wealth of experience to share, we're particularly excited to hear her at this event.

We recognise that assessment can often be a source of stress for music leads. Our main aim for this event is to present simple and quick forms of music assessment that clearly demonstrate children's progression throughout their primary music education.

We hope to provide numerous actionable takeaways to enable a wider music offering for your schools, whether you are developing or enhancing your co-curricular program.

Additionally, as transition preparations begin, we will explore ways to support our students in their next stage of musical education.

Please click here to reserve a spot. A link to the event will be sent in due course to all those attending.

We look forward to joining you there!
