Online KS2 Workshops

Chetham’s online KS2 workshops are back!

Our workshops are a great way to get your whole class involved in making and enjoying music together. Workshops will take place in the Autumn term on Monday afternoons, 1.30 – 2.15pm. Sign up is FREE and the workshops are delivered via Zoom.

WHAT’S IN THE WORKSHOPS?

Designed for KS2 classroom settings, workshops are delivered by our amazing Creative Artists who are experienced teachers and musicians, and also feature a student from Chetham’s School of Music.

Themed around Nature, all workshops will focus on composition, helping children to express themselves creatively, culminating in a new piece of music written by the children and arranged by composition students from Chetham’s School of Music.

Workshops are designed to be as interactive as possible, and include opportunities for:

  • Listening, including live music from Creative Artists and a Chetham’s student
  • Singing, in warm up and throughout the session as a key learning tool
  • Composing, including body percussion, lyric writing, ‘found sounds’, and soundscapes
  • Interactive learning through quizzes
  • Learning about musical instruments, styles and ideas
  • Moving, including dancing/movement and using our bodies to make music!

Schools should sign up for all four workshops, and expect to spend an hour on a follow up activity after the workshop to embed learning, including recording students’ work to share with Chetham’s. Resources will be shared or suggested (e.g. craft materials, whiteboards) in advance.

Our workshops are designed to support schools’ delivery of the National Curriculum for KS2 Music and the National Plan for Music Education.
