WEMA Schools’ Music Conference 2025
A day of learning, creating and inspiration for all music teachers, featuring keynote speakers Dr Ally Daubney and Professor Martin Fautley, plus insightful and interactive sessions geared to help you deliver the National Plan for Music Education in your setting.
Join us for a day of learning, creating and inspiration for all music teachers (and non-music specialists in primary schools) from EYFS through to Primary and Secondary. Conference sessions are geared to help you deliver the National Plan for Music Education in your setting. Sessions will include workshops, forums, and practical music making, plus surgeries throughout the day for more specific support.
The conference, hosted by the University of the West of England at their Frenchay Campus in Bristol, runs from 1pm through to twilight sessions, with opportunities to network. Refreshments will be provided throughout the day, with a buffet at 6.20pm. The conference ends at 7.30pm.
Conference sessions include: cross-curriculum music delivery in the primary classroom; Dalcroze Eurhythmics, (a music pedagogy that gives primacy to the movement of the body); findings from the longstanding “Listen Imagine Compose” action-research project; an interactive session helps KS1 & 2 teachers use rap rhythms to boost students’ speaking and listening skills; Music and Autism – how we can support young people to develop confidence, creativity and communication through music-making.
