DMS Stars

Every child who has started learning with us this term will be awarded a newly designed star certificate and sticker at the end of each term, during their first year of learning. We are also delighted to support our pupils’ discovery of their instrument or voice through DMS Star Units. These varied online resources, accessed at home or in lesson through the Charanga YUMU platform, support our in-school lessons in a fun and interactive way!

 

DMS Star School Presentations

We are thrilled that over 1200 new pupils have joined our Durham Music Service community this term and will be receiving their certificates in assemblies and performances in school in December. We are also delighted that some very special guests will be visiting a selection of school across the county to present certificates!
