Inclusive and Accessible Music Education | In2 Music Project | pBone, pTrumpet, pCornet & pBuzz

Описание: The In2 music project was funded by Darlington Borough Council and UKRI through the Special Projects Fund and sits within a larger three-year study that seeks to uncover how the arts and sports help school transition for pupils with low socio-economic status.

Research suggests that, for some pupils, school transition can be stressful, and that vulnerable pupils need effective support prior to transition. The music project involved 103 Year 6 pupils from four Darlington primary schools and 90 Year 7 pupils from one Darlington secondary school, working with Back Chat Brass, a professional brass ensemble consisting of eight full band members. The project ran for seven weeks from January – March 2020.

pTrumpets, pBones, pCornets and pBuzz were purchased with support from UKRI funding raised by Durham University and sponsorship from the Warwick Music Group (now known as pBone Music). The budget has allowed for the purchase of one instrument per child in the cohort, and these will remain in the schools as part of the legacy of the project.

Back Chat Brass ran the music workshops. The musicians encouraged free play of music and taught the pupils set pieces to be performed in front of parents, teachers, and pupils in their school. The full band worked with the pupils for the first workshop, last performance and all of the secondary school sessions.
