Can I say that? Diversifying the Music Curriculum: An exploration of language, content, and approach

This session with experienced classroom teacher Jenetta Hurst is an opportunity to reflect on what’s taken place in our work with learners over the past term, and plan for the year ahead.

During this session you will:

• Discover resources for delivering an increasingly inclusive music curriculum
• Discuss approaches to incorporating the contributions of diverse musicians into your current curriculum / repertoire throughout the year
• Gain support for teachers and practitioners to confidently use appropriate language around diversity
• Consider what this all means for the children and young people that we teach
• The intention is for you to
• Have a space to discuss the experiences of your learners
• Have the space to ask questions about the language used in our learning environments
• Identify your call to action in diversifying your curriculum and repertoire

This session will be relevant for those working with learners aged 7 – 16 (Key stages 2 – 4).
