b. How could this training, and your proposed actions, be successful in raising standards of Learning and Teaching in your school?

• Children already very enthusiastic about these songs!
• Raise standards of teaching and learning of singing – give wider range of singing experience and greater staff confidence.

• Help in how to conduct and to teach songs. Higher the value and priority of singing within school.
• Raise profile and quality of singing throughout school. • It will help raise standards of teaching and learning in music.
• The children thoroughly enjoy the songs and are most enthusiastic, and I am more confident.
• Valuable experiences for the children.
• All our Key Stage 2 children have experienced Urban Voice – it has generated great enthusiasm with many of the children who actually enjoy singing.
• Music warm-up exercises to be used to aid children’s singing.
• Use of the gospel style of singing will increase children’s participation, enthusiasm and enjoyment.
• Vocal warm-ups will be encouraged before singing.
