Creative Curriculum Partnership

We are excited to be part of this Manchester Cultural Education Partnership (MCEP) initiative which sees cultural organisations paired with education establishments across Manchester, aiming to embed creativity within the school curriculum.  For this project, Note Weavers were paired with the Hospital School based at Manchester Children’s Hospital to develop a digital resource which included links to the City of Manchester.  Thus ‘Songs for a Busy Bee’ was born.

Supporting young families’ music making

We are delighted to work in partnership with The Bureau Centre for the Arts in Blackburn on their Youth Music funded programme Shared Sounds, which aims to support young families to take part in music activities.

From June 23rd 2020 Note Weavers provided a free Facebook live session with songs, rhymes and musical games for young children with their parents/carers every Tuesdays morning.  Families took part live or check via the Facebook page or  YouTube channel after the event.

The funding received by The Bureau for the Shared Sounds project was to:

  • offer music sessions to different community groups who are working with under 5s and their families
  • to support music leaders and early years practitioners to develop their knowledge and experience to lead music activities with young children.

12 recorded Shared Sounds sessions led by Sorrel Harty available to view

Supporting practitioners in providing a musically rich environment for children

 

Note Weavers are delighted to have been commissioned by Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council to be involved in the delivery of a ESOL Social Integration Project ‘Learning English Together’ [LET]. This is a government funded programme which support adults who are new to learning English to access opportunities more widely in the local community alongside a more formal learning programme. Note Weavers will be part of a team of ‘social mixing’ partners who provide six-week courses for the learners, running weekly music sessions for parents with their young children at The Bureau Centre for the Arts with two courses starting in November 2020 and January 2021.

The LET course delivers English Language learning and support for those learning English at a beginner level who have arrived in the UK in the last three years. The music sessions will offer supported interaction for learners to engage in conversation as they take part in a programme of music activities with their pre-school children.

Supporting practitioners in providing a musically rich environment for children

 

 

Throughout the Autumn Term 2018, Note Weavers undertook a 12-week programme of work at a Children’s Centre in an area of multiple deprivation in the North West of England. This project, led by a single music practitioner in partnership with the setting staff was targeted at small groups of children where there was identified need.  Data was collected throughout through the use of zines which each practitioner used to record spontaneous musical activity and observations of the children within group activities.

The aim was to support setting practitioners in providing a musically rich environment for children and their families which they could continue when the practitioner’s visits ended.

    Do you know about this Norwegian project Twitter pals with an interest in music education? Read the aims, they make a striking contrast to the way that the MMC has been developed. https://prosjekt.hvl.no/futured/
