Musical Futures website added to Creativity Portal

Musical Futures believes music learning works best when young people are making music, and when their existing passion for music is reflected and built upon in the classroom. As well as a website full of resources and news the site also offers the 2nd Edition Musical Futures teacher resource pack. Each chapter has its own section, many with additional audio, video and other materials. If you prefer, download the entire pack, or order a hard copy for free.
