Thread Name: Your local School - how much music
Subject: RE: Your local School - how much music
My wife (Wendy Arrowsmith) has been doing sessional music work in 3 local primary schools - including lots of folky/ trad stuff.

She has worked with older kids at 2 other local Primary on writing songs - these are schools on Catterick Garrison with her work funded by North Yorks libraries and The Green Howards Museum.

She has enjoyed so much that she has cut down on her touring as is training as a Primary School teacher. I'm sure that there will be plenty of music wherever she ends up being employed following her course!

I guess this suggests a sporadic approach to music in Schools but I think it might be hard to justify anything but sessional work in the small primary schools of North Yorkshire.
