Creativity is key at Key Stage 3
I am very pleased to read about the renewed emphasis on creativity in Key Stage 3 music. Not just in the UK, but world-wide there has been a neglect of creative learning opportunities in comparison to listening and responding to music. Yes, creativity has certainly been under-represented in favour of music as a re-creative activity.
For some reason, music students are not always expected to be creative in the same way as students of visual arts, dance, drama or media.
We need to address this!
At my school -Dubai British School- the 200 key stage 3 students really enjoy the creative activities presented in my book 'Music and Keyboard in the Classroom: Book 2 -Getting Creative'. Designed for the keyboard laboratory, the ideas can be transferred to tuned percussion and other instruments.
