Music at Home
Ideas and resources for continuing music learning from home – for all ages and stages of education
Music is a great means of encouraging creativity in children and young people. It allows them to express emotions and have the confidence to experiment with their own musical ideas and sounds.
We have put together activities for each stage of education that could be done at home to enable musical learning to continue during times pupils may be self isolating or not attending school.
