Calling all upper primary teachers!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Love Music are inviting applications for qualified upper primary teachers to take part in our\u00a0FREE Sing for Wellbeing CPD programme<\/strong><\/a>, starting in September 2026 on 8 x Friday afternoons across the academic year, in central Edinburgh.<\/p>\n

This will be the second year of our fully funded primary teacher CPD, which is designed for and with teachers who feel a lack of confidence of skills in leading singing with pupils in their classrooms. No prior singing or music experience is necessary!<\/p>\n

We worked with 26 teachers in our 2025-26 cohort, they said:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve\u00a0absolutely loved the course, the resources and using them in my class, the children love them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve really enjoyed the Friday afternoons…my confidence in my singing has increased – I hope my tuning has improved, I feel it has.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sing for Wellbeing is both a training, and a community of practice, where professional teaching practitioners have a voice and co-design to meet the needs of our learning cohort. Our material and approach\u00a0is\u00a0aimed at\u00a0Upper Primary P4-7,<\/strong>\u00a0however, teachers working in other year groups or across all year groups are also welcome to join us.<\/p>\n
