More about this training
This event is part of the Music Champions project, a collaborative initiative aimed at supporting teachers, teaching assistants, and early years practitioners in cultivating music within their settings.

What’s on offer
Leicester and Leicestershire Early Years Music Network Event
These FREE network events are for all teachers, teaching assistants and early years practitioners working with children aged 2-5 years interested in developing music in their setting. The network is supported through a partnership between The Spark Arts for Children, Leicestershire Music, and Leicester City Council Early Help Team as part of the Music Champions project, aiming to support teachers, teaching assistants, and early years practitioners in teaching music.
The sessions will be led by Educator, Researcher and Author Nicola Burke. Nicola has worked extensively with Early Childhood Settings, Arts & Music organisations/projects/programmes, Music Education Hubs and schools to develop their understanding to enable meaningful musical experiences for young children.
This session will help participants to develop their EYFS music practice and provision and will specifically explore:
- A basic introduction to music in the Early Years for non-music specialists.
- What child-led music practice means with a focus on practical suggestions that can be taken back into the classroom
Networking Opportunity:
Connect with fellow participants to share ideas and discuss challenges related to music in the Early Years Foundation Stage.
In Partnership With:
The Spark Arts for Children, Leicestershire Music, Leicester City Council Early Help Team
