🎶 HELP SHAPE THE FUTURE OF MUSIC EDUCATION 🎶

Octagon Music Hub is inviting children and young people, parents and carers, schools and education settings, music educators, organisations and partners across Dorset and Somerset to share their views.

We’re running a set of short surveys to help us understand:
🎵 what’s working well
🚧 where there are gaps or barriers
📈 how music education can be strengthened locally

Your feedback will directly inform future priorities, partnership working and commissioning decisions.

👇 Find the right survey for you via: https://octagonmusichub.org.uk/have-your-say/

Thank you for helping shape the future of music education across the region.

🎶 Free music education resource for KS2 🎶

We’re sharing this on behalf of colleagues at the University of Southampton Department of Music, who have recently launched a brand new free music education resource.

Pythagoras’ Workshops Toolkit is designed for Key Stage 2 (ages 7–11) and supports creative learning through:
• 🎼 composing with graphic scores
• 🎭 conducting, explored through music and puppetry activities

The toolkit includes a wide range of practical workshop and teaching activities, with accompanying online videos, and can be used flexibly in classroom or workshop settings.

🔗 Free to download (short sign-up required):
https://www.southampton.ac.uk/research/projects/pythagoras-toolkit

This may be particularly useful for primary teachers, music educators and practitioners looking for creative approaches to composition and ensemble leadership.

If you have any questions about the resource, the project team can be contacted directly - see poster for email.
