  1. Primary Provision 2021-22

Provision 2021-22

I am very excited to share with you our fantastic range of programmes for 2021-22. They are designed to develop musical progress, nurture well-being and bring class and schools together through music making.

I am so proud of the work that Durham Music Service has done during the most challenging time any of us have ever faced within education. We have maintained and nurtured musical progression whilst supporting schools in their music making. With more than 30,000 virtual webcam lessons, over 50,000 views on our YouTube Channel, big sings and virtual concerts we have been a key feature in pupils' learning in 2020.

We have developed our programmes to continue to meet the needs of pupils, schools and parents by maintaining our wide range of in-school provision combined with the very best in virtual learning.

Michael Summers

Manager of Music Education

For the first time this year we are hosting a Virtual Launch on Wednesday 21st April 4pm. Please click link below to book your free  place for an opportunity to hear from the staff that have designed the programmes and to ask any questions
