Resources
We support teachers and schools without specialist musical knowledge to implement deep listening strategies and creative music-making in a classroom setting - essentially replicating the beneficial listening practice of Musical Hydrotherapy outside a pool environment.
Listening activities for schools without pools
Our continuing professional development shows staff how to create a relaxing, supporting and attentive atmosphere in the classroom using a simple set of actions. The process, when repeated daily as part of the class’s routine for as little as 5 minutes per day, can have a noticeable effect on the attentiveness and calm atmosphere in the classroom.
It offers a mindful repose that bestows calm in the classroom.
Teachers of all levels of musical experience and confidence can benefit.
We have observed that a very common issue in special education schools is the lack of confidence many teachers encounter when delivering music lessons. Our training gives simple tools that create meaningful activities and professional-sounding outcomes using sound activations that any teacher can do regardless of their musical background.
The scheme of work provided could be implemented into a student's formal accreditation or count towards their EHCP targets.
