We aim to show you basic techniques and knowledge of the three instruments and a simple Scheme of Learning to use for each.
Please note: This is the first of two sessions
So we can manage and plan accordingly, could you please ensure you complete this simple Google Form about current delivery of WCET in your schools.
As always, we will look after our great teachers, with a lovely cake and tea.
