This year Lancashire Music Service can once again offer yourschool an extensive range of musical packages. The serviceswe provide not only offer incredible value for money, butcontribute positively to facilitating the musical aspirations ofyour pupils and staff.

The Government recently announced their "National Plan forMusic Education"(https://www.education.gov.uk/publications/standard/AllPublications/Page1/DFE-00086-2011) this provides clarity about the roleof schools working in collaboration with a music 'Hub' to providean exciting and inspiring music education for their pupils.

"Children from all backgrounds and every part of Englandshould have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument; tomake music with others; to learn to sing and to have theopportunity to progress to the next level of excellence if theywish to" (National Plan for Music Education 2011)

A key recommendation of this plan is the establishment of aMusic Hub. "Music Hubs will consist of partnerships oforganisations working together in a local area to create joinedup, high quality music education provision for children andyoung people, in and out of school"The Lancashire Music Education Hub (LMEH) which includeshead teacher representatives from all phases of education,Young Peoples Service, the Arts Development Team and arange of providers has been established and is preparingexpansion and development plans for music education inLancashire that will start to evolve from September. Lancashire Music Service is the Lead Partner in the Hub and allof its work is targeted at providing both the Core and Extensionactivities identified in the plan. All of the activities in thisbrochure meet the recommendations of the National Plan forMusic.

"Ensure that every child aged five to 18 has the opportunity tolearn a musical instrument (other than voice) through wholeclass ensemble teaching programmes for ideally a year ofweekly tuition on the same instrument" National Plan for MusicEducation 2011.

Whole Class Instrumental Tuition (Wider Opportunities) hasbeen an incredible success for the music service, enablingthousands of pupils to learn an instrument alongside theirclassmates. If pupils wish to continue learning we will providethem with a musical instrument. We have further developed ouraward wining e learning platform;www.lancashiremusicserviceinteractive which now enablespupils and teachers to access thousands of resources both atschool and home.

Musical Futures continues to be popular in many High Schoolsthroughout the county and LMS is nationally recognised fordelivering this model of tuition.

"Provide opportunities to play in ensembles and to perform froman early age "National Plan for Music Education 2011

Our services extend after school and the network of musiccentres throughout the county will provide pupils with thechance to not only develop their musical skills and buildconfidence, but in many cases have been found to help with thetransition from primary to secondary school. Our county bandsand orchestras provide the opportunity for pupils to reach thehighest levels, with performance opportunities at prestigiousconcert venues and National Festivals.

With your support we have been able to build an outstandingservice, and we look forward to working with you this year.

Musical futures sessions are led by a teacher from LancashireMusic Service and the school’s own teacher.

All work undertaken is based on five core principles:

1. Pupils learn music that they choose, like and identify with.

2. Pupils learn by listening to, and copying, recordings.

3. Pupils learn alongside friends.

4. Pupils learn in personal, often haphazard ways.

5. There needs to be an integration of listening, performing,improvising and composing.

Each school taking part in the scheme is provided with enoughguitars, bass guitars, drums, keyboards andmicrophones to equip a full class.

There is a four week foundation course with a week on guitar,bass, drums and keyboard. In addition, some time can bespent working on vocal skills through the use of karaoke.

We aim to bridge the gap between pupils’ musical tastes,influences and motivations outside the classroom and whatgoes on in schools.

musicalfutures



The work we are doing in Musical Futures isworking because it has credibility in the eyes ofthe students. In the past any work on pop music

has come over as patronising but with MusicalFutures it is done almost entirely on their own

terms. They get a buzz out of the ownership.Emma Lamb – Hutton Grammar School

'Musical futures is amazing, I have had somuch fun this has been the bestexperience. Musical futures rocks!!!

We hope that the principles of Musical Futures will help shapeand influence the broader music curriculum in the host school inyear groups other than the specifically targeted one.

We believe that every Musical Futures session should be alearning environment in which the pupils feel challenged, yet atease. The sessions should display the following characteristics:

• Pupils should work in a co-operative and motivated way.

• Pupils should respond to the session leader in a co-operativeway; they are there to help them achieve their stated aimsand aim to help in any way they can.

• The equipment should be collected from a central point andset up with care and respect. At the end of the session, itshould be replaced in the same way.

• The equipment has been provided in order that musicalgoals can be achieved, and will not be replaced if it is stolenor damaged due to carelessness or misuse, though so far,instances of this have been minimal.

From this year a new and exciting feature of our Musical FuturesProgramme is that all students can now login to our interactivewebsite www.lancashireonlinemusic.co.uk to gain access tothousands of resources specifically for Musical Futures to viewand use where ever and whenever they wish!

For more information click on pupil login found on the homepage www.lancashiremusicserviceinteractive.co.uk

Results so far have been very encouraging, with the work of themusic departments in our Musical Future schools flourishing.GCSE numbers are up, and waiting lists for instrumentallessons are longer!

Also, there are non-musical benefits with personalisedlearning/problem solving/co-operation being at the heart of theendeavour. The scheme has worked in a broad spectrum ofschools (comprehensive, special schools and PRU’s).

The 'Musical Futures' project is a musiceducation initiative which sets out to devisenew and imaginative ways of engaging youngpeople aged 11-19, in music activities.

Yellow FactoryWorkshopMC/Rap Writing andRecording WorkshopIf songs are poems set to music then the work involved inwriting a lyric gives literacy a real purpose and audience. If thatlyric is written to stay on the beat and stress its syllables in timeto the four beats of the bar then you have rap!MCs and rappers do essentially one and the same thingalthough kids might argue the difference between freestyle andpre written lyrics or the tempo of the beats. However, percussivelyrics written to the rhythmic pulse of four beats to the bar is themain ingredient.

This small group workshop from The Yellow Factory is aimed atsecondary pupils, a maximum of 10. It will appeal to students ofall musical abilities and uses the Apple Garage Band musicstudio application, a creative tool for your talented musiciansbut also particularly for those whose musical talent may be lesstheoretical and more intuitive.

The workshop offers a creative musical experience in which agroup of students can collaboratively arrange, write and recordtheir own rap song in just one day.

Using Garage Band on an Apple Mac Book Pro, students willtogether audition and then choose music and drum loops intheir preferred style from its extensive Apple loop library eg hiphop, drum and bass, dance, trance etc. The group willexperiment and learn how to build these loops into a piece ofmusic. Using students own interests as a starting point they willthen develop a song lyric idea and begin to write shared raplyrics to their theme, stressing syllables to the beat and usingthe rap techniques of multiple end rhymes, internal rhymes oreven off beat rhymes. The song may well address community,citizenship or PSHE themes.

Exporting the music track at this point to CD or to an mp3 bluetooth transfer to mobile devices will allow the students to thenwork individually or in pairs to develop, write and rehearse theirlyrics. They will later record their parts of the song into GarageBand using a professional standard studio condensermicrophone and headphone monitors to produce a finishedtrack. The group will finally share ideas on the mix and export oftheir finished track.

are no tests and the tunes are fun.

I like music because it makes me want to

go out and do things. The most exciting

everyone at school. It’s for myself. It’s to

make me feel I am part of the Music."
