Abstract

The requirements of the National Curriculum in England make it compulsory for all students training for primary teaching to take curriculum courses in all the core and foundation subjects and RE. [Music is a foundation subject established in 1992 and revised in 1995.] The need to make this type of course stimulating and encouraging has been a major concern for many years. This article describes one course that is designed to meet these needs. Students' evaluations of the course have been very favourable. This has encouraged the writer to share the experience with others in the field and seek constructive criticism. The course, in this form, ran first in 1992–3.
