Our Friends of TiME
Incorporated Society of Musicians (ISM),
Music Teachers Association and Music Mark
have launched the
#CanDoMusic campaign
#CanDoMusic is a UK-wide campaign that aims to ensure all children and young people can resume their musical learning this autumn.
It offers practical teaching resources, guidance on how to adapt to the ‘new normal’, advice on online teaching (should further localised lockdowns happen), and information to help individuals and organisations advocate for music in schools.
Its mission is to celebrate and unlock the innovation of music teachers and senior leaders, ensuring that music plays a central role in rebuilding their school communities.
Covid Clean
Your Music Technology Classroom
We all know that the only constant right now is change (Heraclitus). For Music Technology teachers and all practical creatives there are additional challenges. Cleaning Equipment, hygiene and spacing students.
It is vital that we all share and support each other with solutions. At TiME we will get the ball rolling and invite you to share more either on our Facebook pages or in the special TiMEShare forum on the TiME website.
To keep updated you might like to become a Member of TiME.
So here are some thoughts.
- iPads: iOS. Easy to clean. Garageband on them already, and could then use Cubasis for KS4 and KS5, as well as online/cloud based programs.
- Tablets: Android. Also easy to clean. Team Tutti is an excellent free KS2 program as well, or an online cloud based program, and could then students could move up to Cubasis.
- Perhaps students could be asked to bring in their own computer keyboard and mouse. Touched only by them and cleaned would help.
- To help with spacing, perhaps computer workstations could be moved into other areas e.g. practice rooms, main hall etc
- Label computer workstations A1, B1 etc … and tell students which computer they can use in terms of social distancing.
- Cleaning protocols from Finland.The guidelines have been drawn up in co-operation with the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL).
- We'd love to hear more from you, please comment on the TiMEshare Forum. Here.
