100 Ideas for and Outstanding Music Department would provided much needed ideas for secondary music school teachers across the UK and Ireland. There are very few resources for music departments, yet many interesting initiatives being pioneered and shared over social media amongst other networks. This book would compile together a large number of ideas to inspire and equip new teachers, and share good and innovative practice.
The 100 Ideas for Teachers series offers early years, primary and secondary practitioners/teachers quick and practical ideas, tips, advice and/or activities to improve specific areas of their teaching in an accessible, dip in and out format. In making this relevant for a Secondary Music Department, My-Hanh Doan and Dave Guinane have focussed on four main areas: the classroom, extra-curricular activities, the department and the wider school. Their ideas cover Key Stage 3 to A-level, and cover areas from behaviour, homework, kick-starting orchestras through to ensembles, trips and tours, social media strategies and much more. An invaluable resource for every secondary teacher.
