Minute of Listening

A digital listening resource bringing pupils together to listen, explore and think. In a world that's increasingly visually loud, Minute of Listening helps pupils develop their creative listening skills.

This carefully curated collection of 60 second recordings introduces children to a range of music and sounds from Bjork to Beethoven. Accompanying resources help enrich all areas of the curriculum with sound, and follow-up questions encourage children to discuss what they heard, thought and felt.

Summer School for Young Composers

A 7 day residential course for young composers and creative musicians aged 14-18. This unique course helps young composers to develop their voice and technique in a creative, collaborative and intensive environment.

Students work within their allocated tutor groups receiving tuition from leading composers and professional musicians, as well as enjoying a variety of talks, workshops and Taster Sessions throughout the week. The Summer School culminates in recordings and performances of the work created during the week for friends and family.

Supporting the teaching of composition from a young age is a key priority for Sound and Music. As more resources and learning become available we aim to be able to share this with as many educators as possible, join our mailing list to be the first to know.
