Hi, for PPA i spend around half an hour doing music and have been given the music express scheme to work from.

I think the scheme is quite new, it includes plans, CD rom and CD. I find it quite had to work from and skip quite a few sessions. Alot of the lessons require a large variety of instruments and we only have enough for a small group to have an intrument each, in the mean time alot of the class are having to wait for a turn.

So is there any TAs using the same scheme who have any advice how to make it better? Im currently using the scheme in Year 4.

Cheers

Unfortunately, TAs do not get involved in Music in my school.

Hiya, i over PPA on a Tuesday afternoon. As well as doing an hr of Numeracy i do the music too.

I use the Music Express scheme with Year1 and i really love it.
The teacher prints off the plans and she annotates them and i just work from that.

I have found some of it to be a bit tricky for the Year 1's, some cannot understand word beats and even beats in songs but they all have a go and love having a play on the instruments!

I have never work with Year4 so not sure if i'd be any help and i guess the scheme would be totally different for u.

Mebbe speak to music co-ordinator at school.

Well a new year and i am teaching Music again! (aswell as R.E ) does anyone here use the scheme? I am now using Music Express Year 2
