We recognise that assessment can often be a source of stress for music leads. Our aim is to present simple and quick forms of music assessment that clearly demonstrate children's progression throughout their primary music education.

We hope to provide numerous actionable takeaways to enable a wider music offering for your schools, whether you are developing or enhancing your co-curricular program.

Additionally, as transition preparations begin, we will explore ways to support our students in their next stage of musical education.
