Networking
Leicester and Leicestershire Early Years Music Network Event
Tuesday 24 March 2026
Join us for a FREE networking event designed for teachers, teaching assistants, and early years practitioners working with children aged 2-5 years, keen on enhancing musical development in their settings.
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. Our goal is to help participants develop their Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) music practice and provision, with a special focus on child-led music practices.
What’s on offer
Leicester and Leicestershire Early Years Music Network Event
Child-led music making through play and exploration
We will share case studies and practical workshops from our Music Champions project which focussed on child-centred music making. This will include practical workshops with two musicians involved in the project:-
Phil Pearson will share work from his partnership with St Barnabas Primary School – building sensory sound environments using everyday objects. Phil will also give an insight into how this sensory approach can really empower and support SEND children.
Maisy Neale will support us in thinking about musical play, sharing learning from her partnership with Little Peepul Nursery. We will explore how music can be inspired in many different ways drawing on the boundless imagination of young children.
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
