Music Playtime
Arts Enterprise Limited
Music Playtime is a complete, topic-based music scheme for EYFS and KS1 teachers - choose either plan, or both. Music Playtime is ideal for non-specialists - you'll learn exactly what to do in music, why it's important and how to do it, with friendly advice and over 100 demo videos. If you are a music specialist or school music lead, you'll find fantastic ideas that you may not have tried before. Music Playtime was specially commissioned by the Lancashire Music Service and the activities were tried, tested and approved by children and teachers in local schools.
