Special Key Stage 2 - Conductive Music CIC

Sound crafters

Embark on an exciting journey into gamification and new technologies as we create custom-built musical instruments! We begin with free play, encouraging students to explore and experiment. Gradually, we guide them in creating melodies using call-and-response techniques. Next, we connect crocodile clips and explore graphic notation with chords and backing tracks, teaching students to count, sing, and play together. By combining gamification and technology, we aim to inspire and uniquely engage your students. Enhance peer interaction as they build instruments and learn about conductivity through music!

Lesson Aims

KS2 workshops aim to extend students’ attention spans and encourage peer interaction through music-making. They inspire learners to be creative using technological tools, build resilience through digital instrument construction and composition. Each programme is customised to your students’ needs and may include rhythm and relative pitch, singing, composition and improvisation, as well as performance and coding where suitable.

Timetable

Sessions can be scheduled at 9:00 am, 10:00 am, 11:00 am, and 1:00 pm (with a lunch break in between).

All our staff are DBS-checked and will bring both their DBS certificate and photo ID on the day. You’ll also receive our DBS details, letter of assurance, insurance, and disqualification declaration two weeks, one week, and one day before the session—along with any web links that may need unblocking.

Will teachers get resources afterwards?

Yes – teachers receive follow-up materials and access to our STEAM Corner online learning platform.
