Explore how to build inclusive, flexible and relevant music curricula rooted in national guidance and 21st-century practice. Led by music specialist, Jenetta Hurst, this session offers practical strategies for music educators at all stages, with a focus on musical elements, cross-genre teaching, and contemporary context.

In this session, we’ll explore:

• DIY Curriculum Design – building flexible and relevant music curricula from the ground up
• Elements Over Genre – focusing on musical elements as a way to teach across styles and traditions
• National Policy in Practice – how to embed national guidance and vision into everyday planning

In the contemporary music room, it is imperative to engage with modern technology, new musical trends, contemporary issues in society and to underpin this in solid theoretical foundations. This session will take a deeper dive into promoting a diverse 21st century curriculum in all settings.
