🎵Mr Stanaway🎵

Hello Twitter! I am a recently qualified secondary music teacher starting my first full time teaching position in September! I’ve joined twitter to network, discuss and learn from you all, and add to the huge pool of educational knowledge and opportunities on here! Thank you!

Enrichment Spotlight on Ukulele Group Mr Stanaway and his ukulele players are developing their skills and making great progress with this instrument, a member of the lute family often associated with music from Hawaii. Can't wait for the group's first public performance.

Wednesfield High Academy has been nominated by Wolverhampton Music Service to become a Music Mark school for the 2020/21 academic year. Music Mark is the UK Association for Music Education; which supports access to music for all young people. ow.ly/znCN50BJLk9

@_YOSullivan I’m stuck in classrooms without instruments and IT for all of ks3, So just theory at the moment - ks4 are having to push back all the practical (musical) learning aims and plough through written coursework. It’s mind numbing. I’m not enjoying it and neither are the students 😔

Sick of not teaching music, and now YouTube and Disney+ has been banned because the internet cant handle it at our school, possible removal of sixth form music.. feeling hopeless! How are other schools using instruments at ks4/5?! I need a solution apparently!

@pearson @PearsonMusic1 @PearsonMusic1 do we know if Btec grades for level 2 will be included in this government U turn approach to ensure pupils are awarded with the grades they deserve?

Thrilled to find out that I got the Head of House job! 🎉🙌🏻

Links will be shared today and tomorrow, Enjoy!

When music teachers teach without predetermined outcomes in mind they ask questions like: how are u getting on? What do u feel about this? What made u decide 2 do it this way? How do u know? What else did u think of? What was difficult here? How could u deal with this problem?

Today I’ve been recording my pages from ‘Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone’ for the video e-book @WednesfieldHigh are creating for the year 6 pupils who will be joining us in September! Of course I dressed up! 👓⚡️🧙🏻‍♂️📖

remember how people declared NHS workers heroes and NHS workers said please don't do that because it normalises us dying at work but it got normalised anyway and now the normalisation of NHS workers sacrificing themselves is being used to bully teachers into doing the same? wild

#ThankATeacher Going to sleep tonight with a big smile 😊

@PearsonEdexcel @PearsonEdexcel what about BtEC Sv processes?

I’ve been very busy lately! I’ve lead on a trip to a primary school! I hosted the UWMAT artsmark lead arts teachers meeting. I also graduated from my PGCE and today had my Artsmark Statement of Commitment approved by the head and chair of governors! Happy half term everyone!
