Hello teachers,
We hope you have had a great start to the new year!
We have lots to share with you, including brilliant free resources for you to use in the classroom, an amazing opportunity for young musicians to learn about careers in the live music industry and this term's programme of teacher CPD sessions. Due to our Music Education Hub funding from Arts Council England, we are also able to offer you a really rich and high quality programme of CPD - all for free.
If you need support with training, music strategies, resources or teaching and would like to speak to a member of our staff directly, please contact paul.davies@doncaster.gov.uk or call 07731949223. This newsletter is created by darts as joint lead partner of the Doncaster Music Education Hub.
Find out about opportunities on offer to you & your pupils via this newsletter, visit our website or follow us on Twitter and/or Facebook.
