LEYMN Annual Conference 2016 - Raising The Baton

Raising the Baton: Exploring the diverse styles and repertoire of early years music making.

The sixth annual London Early Years Music Network conference is returning to the heart of the work - music.

The community is united through a belief in the power of music but the opportunity to discuss the repertoire you use and how it can impact on children is rare.

They shall explore how music is used in early years activities, environments and experiences.

Are you making best use of the resources available?
Should you take more risks with your musical choices?
What can you learn from other art-forms?
Is the music you use the best it can be?
Where do you begin when composing for young children?
How do you celebrate the diversity of audiences through music?

This one-day conference is held in the beautiful Royal Albert Hall and will provide a rich day of presentations, case studies, discussions and practical sessions.

By coming together you will celebrate good practice and identify where more work is needed and what the network can achieve together. This is why this conference has a timetable with everyone in mind; from practitioners to project deliverers, cultural organisations to classroom teachers, composers to setting managers.

Delegates will feel inspired to embed music into the heart of their practice to enable every child to have a musical childhood.
