ABOUT THE SESSION:
This session is looking at the potential and challenges of using Creativity in Music Education. The session will introduce a theoretical framework which describes the three main challenges for students in creative music education settings and a range of techniques and strategies that support students to be creative, and that make creativity activities more predictable and less risky for educators. The idea is that having a technical framework scaffolding practice makes creative music educators more resilient, reflective, and able to deal with the unpredictable nature of creativity education.
The session will look at the role of warm ups, generating a creativity culture, and strategies and techniques for supporting composition and improvisation, plus the possibilities and constraints of creativity in groups and larger ensembles.
The session will be very hands on and fun - trying out loads of music creativity ideas. This CPD will be relevant to music educators working in any sector from Early Years through ASN, Primary, Secondary, Instrumental teaching, and beyond.
This session is part of a pilot being run by Tom & Phil Bancroft of ABC Creative Music and Glasgow Caledonian University with the support of the Creative Scotland YMI Strengthening Fund and so participants will be asked to fill out a detailed evaluation after the session.
The session will be face to face and last for 4 hours - there will be an optional 2 hour follow up session online for students who want to explore the theoretical framework further and there will also be access to free back up written resources.
