Youth Music Initiative Sept Blog

Music is heating up just as Autumn is rolling in!

Most of our projects are now up and running, some are still yet to begin.

It’s been great to see all the buzz on twitter around the YMI projects please see our twitter feed to catch up on what schools have been doing within our projects #AngusYouthMusic

We attended the YMI Learning Day in Stirling learning all about how music impacts on raising attainment and how it contributes to Literacy and Health & Wellbeing.

There are lots of opportunities throughout the year please get in touch if you would like to be considered for any or would like more information.

Have you ever thought about training as a primary teacher? Do you live in Angus and work for the council?  Do you have a degree? The Dundee University ‘Learn to Teach’ PGDE programme would allow you to complete your post graduate qualification whilst still retaining your job with the council.  Angus Council would support you with your fees and guarantee a job in an Angus primary school.  The course is part time over 18 months starting in January 2018.  Participants would begin their induction year in an Angus primary school in August 2019.

If you’re interested please act quickly. Get in touch with Kim Walker on 01307 476360 WalkerK@angus.gov.uk to start the application process.  Provided you obtain the relevant permissions from your current line manager you will be sent out an application form.  Applications must be submitted to Kim Walker by Wednesday 25 October 2017.
