Royal Opera House Create and Sing Programme Comes to Essex
Film created before Covid-19 restrictions applied.
Join the Royal Opera House for a two-part virtual CPD training course exploring the Create and Sing creative learning programme (KS1-KS3). Our specialist ROH drama and music practitioners introduce the programme, pedagogy and resources and guide teachers through effective approaches to supporting students’ creative learning by exploring opera.
Create and Sing is an innovative drama and singing programme supporting young people’s creative learning and giving voice to their creativity. Our nationally and freely available teacher training and resources engage schools in a creative process leading towards creating opera in the classroom.
Teachers are not required to have specialist music training as our free certified training and unique online resources help guide them through the programme every step of the way.
Create and Sing’s Covid-19 adaptations
The revised CPD schedule has moved dates to the end of this term and the start of next. Please note if you had previously booked onto a CPD the dates may have changed.
Create and Sing has adapted this year, with training taking place through virtual twilight sessions and schools projects starting in the summer or beyond. Create and Sing virtual training brings teachers together to explore, learn, share and have some fun during this difficult time of separation.
With many schools facing curriculum time pressures but also looking for a special, engaging and rewarding project for the summer, the training focuses on our Explorer (5-week lesson plan) schemes of work. These lead teachers and students through creative learning programmes with a range of curriculum links. Teachers do not need to commit to running a school project this summer to attend the training; all are welcome.
