South Ayrshire Music Group
Overview
Lorna Gourley is a peripatetic music teacher within South Ayrshire. She has found that Glow has been a great way to organise her resources and communicate with teachers and pupils throughout South Ayrshire, answering questions, offering resources and supporting learning.
Context
Lorna’s job as a peripatetic music teacher requires that she travels from school to school throughout the authority to deliver music in partnership with the schools. She found that in moving from place to place it was difficult to keep track of resources and remember to gather everything back in at the end of the working day for the next day. When she was in schools teachers and headteachers had lots of questions for her and she found herself answering the same questions from establishment to establishment.
Lorna had been using Glow for about a year when she met with the Glow support team within her authority to develop two music Glow groups. As Lorna is moving around within the authority it was deemed best to have these groups created at Local Authority level so that everyone throughout the authority could have access and make use of the resource.

I like the idea of the showcaseing of the pupils works which allows my pupils with ASN to experience musical performances of other children

I found this very interesting, and it has motivated me to use GLOW as a resource more often.

I have recently added a couple of short videos to the Showcase page here. I have been working with pupils to create Rainsticks and created a short “how to” video to enable colleagues to consider how this might be applied if they are delivering a Rainforest topic. I also have a short video of pupil performance which refelcts how music can be integrated within a class project.
