Listen Imagine Compose Primary was a partnership project of Birmingham Contemporary Music Group, Birmingham City University and Sound and Music. It involved workshops and action research in six Birmingham and 3 Bristol primary schools, following 480 children, over two years, from Year 4 into Year 5. Funded by a Paul Hamlyn Foundation Arts-based Learning ‘More & Better’ grant, the project aimed to work with teachers and composers to develop meaningful and relevant composing activities for children, better understand children’s composing and how they progress as composers, and, improve the quality and frequency of composing in primary schools. These resources are a result of that project. For more information about the project CLICK HERE.
