Charanga Training

To support our long standing partnership with Charanga across Essex, fully subsidised by Essex Music Education Hub, we are running a number of free training events.

To register your interest, and to find out about training opportunities, please contact Kristian Parkes, the Charanga Area Manager, or Sarah Goldsmith, the Schools Curriculum Lead Officer.

If you would like to host a Charanga session at your school, please do get in touch as we may have additional capacity to fit in additional Charanga sessions within this term.

Musical Futures Training

Musical Futures logoMusical Futures is an approach to teaching and learning that is reshaping the way in which students around the world are engaging with music in the classroom.


Primary CPD with Sue Nicholls

We continue to work with renowned educator and trainer Sue Nicholls to offer CPD sessions to primary school teachers. Whether you are a music specialist, or someone who has just taken on the role, Sue offers a variety of informative and fun training sessions throughout the year.


Preparing for an Ofsted Deep Dive in Music for Primary Schools

After a term of inspection under the new Ofsted framework, we now have a better understanding of what some schools have been asked and how Music Leaders and Schools can prepare for a Deep Dive into music.

Following the session, experts from Essex Music Services will be available to answer specific questions.

This CPD session is free to all DFE funded Essex schools. There will be a fee for schools who do not fit this category.


Sing Up

Sing Up logoSing Up is a comprehensive music resource comprising songs, warm-ups, teaching activities, videos and articles detailing how to teach and support music in education.

Sing Up will provide all the resources that non-specialist teachers need to deliver a high-quality music curriculum and bring the joy of singing into school, whilst driving musical progression. It also provides a varied and challenging repertoire for experienced teachers looking for something new for their students. Find out more about Sing Up.


We also continue to offer bespoke music CPD for schools to have a training session for their staff which can be focused on any part of the curriculum, either as a charged session for in-house training, or as a free provision when delivered within a cluster session. Please contact Sarah Goldsmith for more information or to discuss a particular provision.

We look forward to seeing you, or some of your staff, at one of the above events soon.
