· How to teach songs in the classroom using the Sparkyard Player, and how to share songs with your pupils at home

· Ways to explore to and find songs and resources for every purpose you can think of in school from fact learning and collective worship, to signal songs and simply singing for fun!

· How to personalise Sparkyard for your own needs and how to collaborate with colleagues

· An introduction to the Sparkyard Music Curriculum 

Sparkyard is a subscription service from Out of the Ark, which gives primary school teachers nearly 1000 songs, and countless resources to allow those songs to be used in every part of a school’s life: in curriculum lessons to support learning, in assemblies to develop community, in classrooms and playgrounds to enhance wellbeing, and much more. It also features an innovative, flexible, skills-based primary music curriculum designed to enable every primary teacher to feel confident teaching music – whatever their experience level.  It was named as the “Outstanding Music Education Resource” at the 2023 Music and Drama Education Awards.

Surrey Music Hub have established a partnership between us and Out of the Ark giving primary schools in Surrey are able to access a 30% discount on a subscription to Sparkyard.
