Meaningful musical moments in your Reception classroom

Music is already a joyful and familiar part of Reception classroom life, from songs at tidy up time to rhymes on the carpet. This CPD session builds on what teachers already do, offering simple, practical and fun ideas to embed meaningful musical learning throughout the school day.

The session is designed to boost confidence for everyone, including teachers who may not feel confident in their own musical ability. No prior musical knowledge is needed.

Through accessible ideas, clear demonstrations and low pressure participation, teachers will discover that musical learning can be delivered through simple singing, movement, listening and play. By the end of the session, teachers will feel confident to:

• Include short, meaningful musical moments within daily routines

• Use music to support learning, behaviour and engagement

• Develop children’s musical skills in an age appropriate and playful way

• Approach music teaching with confidence and enjoyment
