100 Ideas for and Outstanding Music Department would provided much
needed ideas for secondary music school teachers across the UK and
Ireland. There are very few resources for music departments, yet many
interesting initiatives being pioneered and shared over social media
amongst other networks. This book would compile together a large number
of ideas to inspire and equip new teachers, and share good and
innovative practice.
The 100 Ideas for Teachers series offers early years, primary and
secondary practitioners/teachers quick and practical ideas, tips, advice
and/or activities to improve specific areas of their teaching in an
accessible, dip in and out format. In making this relevant for a
Secondary Music Department, My-Hanh Doan and Dave Guinane have focussed
on four main areas: the classroom, extra-curricular activities, the
department and the wider school. Their ideas cover Key Stage 3 to
A-level, and cover areas from behaviour, homework, kick-starting
orchestras through to ensembles, trips and tours, social media
strategies and much more. An invaluable resource for every secondary
teacher.
