A Practical Guide to Teaching Music in the Primary School is an inspiring guide to delivering high-quality music education in the classroom and across the whole school. Packed full of actionable guidance and insights, the book showcases straightforward and creative approaches to engaging children during lessons and developing their passion for music education.

This book explores how music can be taught both as a discrete subject and as part of a cross-curricular approach, engaging children in their learning through simple yet creative idaeas.

It empowers teachers to make informed decisions about how to teach music, regardless of their prior experience, by building on their own skills, knowledge, and understanding.
