About the Project<br />
Thurrock Music Services (TMS) currently work with over<br />
90% of schools in Thurrock, as an Arts Council England<br />
funded music hub. This year they have produced offers<br />
for Thurrock schools, ranging from teacher consultation<br />
and Music curriculum support, to CPD and workshops for<br />
students.<br />
Marilyn Whiskerd is a classically trained musician and<br />
experienced Headteacher working in Thurrock for over<br />
twenty years. As School Engagement Lead with TMS<br />
Marilyn has already had a significant impact on singing<br />
standards within the borough. In partnership with TMS<br />
and the Royal Opera House, she was instrumental in<br />
leading school choirs in the 2016/17 Thurrock Music<br />
Festivals. She has been a driving force in developing a<br />
Singing Strategy for Thurrock. Marilyn has proven track<br />
record of delivering engaging, creative and practical<br />
workshops for pupils; as well as in high quality CPD for<br />
staff.<br />
This CPD supports the vision of Thurrock’s Singing<br />
Strategy to develop a love of singing in every child in<br />
Thurrock “to access high quality, engaging singing<br />
activities that enthuse, inspire and motivate learners<br />
towards pursuing pathways of progression; enabling high<br />
level skills for some whilst nurturing social, moral, cultural<br />
and spiritual well-being for all”.<br />
TMS are offering this CPD to teachers to ensure that they<br />
are equipped with the skills, knowledge and confidence<br />
that will enable learners to access high quality teaching<br />
and learning in singing lessons and extra-curricular<br />
singing activities.<br />
Focusing on ways in which we can all enable singing<br />
healthily, this CPD outlines key methods for safe singing<br />
practice school-wide.<br />
