Yesterday we opened up the learning at the new @BirmCons@StBenedictsB10 Primary School of Music in Small Heath. Primary Headteachers and Lead Music Teachers from across the city observed a musicianship session and heard from children and staff.
A Lead Music Teacher from a local primary school said: 'The children and your staff really outdid themselves and were extremely impressive! I was amazed at the inclusivity and creativity I witnessed yesterday and would really love my school to be part of the journey.'
