Project Aims
- Conduct an audit of current provision to create an overview of what is working well and what can be improved
- Develop the confidence, knowledge and expertise of EYFS staff in delivering music
- Provide holistic EYFS music CPD to increase teacher confidence and delivery
- Build on schools strengths and areas for development identified in the audit
- Where necessary, advise on subject leadership and building the right infrastructure for music to flourish.
- Empower each practitioner with a range of developmentally appropriate songs and games
- Support each school with their music development plan and long term sustainable aims
- Help schools to achieve ELG and development matters goals through musical activity
