FREE Ebook: Effective Extra-Curricular Provision in Music
The Creative Educator, Jenetta Hurst publishes her first Ebook: Effective Extra Curricular Provision in Music
Jenetta Hurst shares 20 years of experience from the ground up, of working in music education. In the Ebook, Jenetta poses key questions and addresses:
-
Delivery of a strong co-curricular or extra-curricular programme
-
Engaging staff in the delivery of extra-curricular provision
-
Working in Partnership
‘A well-planned extra-curricular activity will create space for originality, problem-

new ideas. Pass it on and foster joy for students through the provision of a creative
activity.’
Government guidance outlines the following:
School leaders and music teachers should be able to articulate how their provision
ensures every aspiring musician in their school can access the high-quality
opportunities they need.
