  8. Music Education Hub Core & Extension Roles: • Ensure that every child aged 5-18 has the opportunity to learn a musical instrument (other than voice) through whole-class ensemble teaching programmes ideally for a year (but for a minimum of a term) of weekly tuition on the same instrument. 2 Provide opportunities to play in ensembles and to perform from an early stage. 3 Ensure that clear progression routes are available and affordable to all young people. • Develop a singing strategy to ensure that every pupil sings regularly and that choirs and other vocal ensembles are available in the area.

  9. Music Education Hub Core & Extension Roles (contd.): • Offer CPD to school staff, particularly in supporting schools to deliver music in the curriculum. • Provide an instrument loan service with discounts or free provision for those on low incomes. • Provide access to large scale and / or high quality music experiences for pupils, working with professional musicians and / or venues. This may include undertaking work to publicise the opportunities available to schools, parents/carers and students. www.hertsmusicservice.org.uk Hertfordshire Music Service, the Lead Partner for the Hertfordshire Music Education Hub james.dickinson@hertfordshire.gov.uk 01438 843079

  10. Music Subject Inspections: Ofsted has been giving considerable thought about how it can best follow up the findings of the 2012 reports (‘Wider still, and wider’ and ‘Sound Partnerships’)Ofsted has also been thinking about how inspectors can best monitor the early impact of the music hubs, which began operating on 1 September…so, between January 2013 and July 2013, Ofsted is going to make a series of short subject visits in music that will be sharply focussed on the effectiveness of music subject leadership by subject and senior leaders in schools, and the extent to which the leadership of the local music hub is supporting and augmenting musical teaching and learning in that school. Hertfordshire Music Service – How can we help?www.hertsmusicservice.org.ukSchools area with full Ofsted statements, links to both 2012 subject reports, guidance on how to respond and contact details for further support.

  11. Music Subject Inspections (Contd): Our current work is key. We already trade and work with 77% of primary schools and 86% of secondary schools which in the new world of music hubs is substantial. The data survey, being submitted to the Arts Council / DfE also provides evidence of excellent work being undertaken by Hertfordshire Schools.(its not too late to provide your data – see the schools area on our web-site) A School Music Plan. Articulating existing provision within the context of a simple school-wide music plan is key and enabling partner organisation’s work to be reflected in it.Contact us for any musical query: EAST AREA: Rebecca Hughes 01438 351138  eastareaschools@hertfordshire.gov.uk WEST AREA: Angela Gilby 01727 860941  westareaschools@hertfordshire.gov.uk
