\nGET CREATIVE WITH CLASSICAL MUSIC<\/strong>
\nDelivered by Jenny England, primary music specialist
\nThis CPD is part of the BBC Ten Pieces project, an exciting initiative that encourages primary pupils to develop creative responses to a selection of classical pieces. The project will culminate with performances and video clip screenings in May\/June 2015. CAST has registered to be part of this project and we will be supporting schools that wish to take part. This session will give you all the relevant information needed to begin, introducing the repertoire and focusing on composition using body percussion, vocals and movement. In addition we will explore resources and ideas that have been created by BBC Learning. For more information visit the BBC Ten Pieces website click HERE<\/a>
\nAn exciting video has been created by the BBC screening performances of all the pieces, alongside animations and introductions by various presenters. If you sign up for this CPD, please order a copy for your school, email: tenpieces@bbc.co.uk with \u2018DVD\u2019 as the subject, and include in the text your schools postal address and a contact name. DVD\u2019s will be sent out in October and allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.

AN INTRODUCTION TO OUR NEW PRIMARY ART PACK<\/strong>
\nDelivered by Jane Catlin\/Fiona Blakey
\nCAST is creating a new (CfE relevant) primary art pack to aid teachers in their delivery of the Art and Design experiences and outcomes for levels 1 and 2. \u201cThrough art and design, learners have rich opportunities to be creative and to experience inspiration and enjoyment. They explore a wide range of two and three dimensional media and technologies through practical activities, and create, express, and communicate ideas. Their studies of the works of artists and designers enhance their enjoyment and deepen their knowledge and understanding\u201d
\nThis session will launch the pack, covering suggested use of the content and providing a practical opportunity to try out some of the themes and skills.<\/p>\n

BIG RHYTHM AFTERNOONS<\/strong>
\nDelivered by Jenny England, primary music specialist
\nAn understanding of pulse and rhythm lie at the heart of music making. As a teacher having this knowledge greatly enhances one\u2019s ability to facilitate effective learning. In addition to developing core music skills the benefits of regular rhythm and pulse activities include improved concentration, increased reading skills and the development of coordination skills. Collective rhythm-making also encourages an environment of inclusion, cooperation and fun. You will learn: strategies to embed pulse and rhythm; effective layering of rhythmic patterns; rhythmic features of various styles of music; skills to facilitate rhythm ensembles; a selection of short rhythm activities that can be used at any time in the school day. Participants, who don\u2019t already have them, will receive a classroom set of boomwhackers (tuned percussion tubes) for use in their school.
