This years' conference is set to be our biggest and best yet. We have taken your feedback on board, and have a great deal more choice for secondary teachers this time around. We are also hosting at Botley Park Hotel, which is a lovely venue with a great selection of different sized rooms for different types of activity.
Here is a summary of the sessions available to secondary delegates:
Keynote speech from Chris Stevens (Ofsted Music lead) - insight in to Ofsted's current guidance for Music departments, including time for Q&A.
Urban Choir for Secondary Students - tips and repertoire for teaching diverse voices in more of a popular context.
GCSE `Performing with Technology’ - strategies to assist 'non-performing musicians'.
Composition Ideas for Key Stage 3 - practical examples for live/instrumental composing, as well as take-away ideas for technology-based composition.
Starting a GCSE composition - strategies to encourage initial ideas without diminishing their creative choices.
Advanced techniques for Logic/Garageband - a suitable stepping stone for those who are comfortable with the fundamentals of DAW production, but are looking to improve their overall DAW proficiency.
Boys and singing. Getting them interested and keeping them singing - ideas around recruitment, repertoire and building a community of singers that creates longevity in schools.
Gamelan and World Drumming - time out of the hustle and bustle of the day to meditate and immerse yourself in this enchanting music, while picking up ideas for the classroom.

Taking Choirs form Good to WOW! - take your choir to the next level from blending the sound, listening, understanding context and performance skills.
