Between 2015 and 2019 I worked with Conductive Music as a teacher and developer.

STEAM Education

Conductive Music bring together art, music, technology, science, pedagogy and research with the aim to help young people from challenging backgrounds develop musical, technical, and performance skills by introducing them to new music and new open source technologies. By bringing cutting-edge technologies and professional performers and researchers into primary and high schools Conductive Music gets young people building instruments and making music.

During these workshops students acquire key employability skills for creative industries and STEM subjects including programming, soldering, instrumental performance and sound design. The teaching methods which Conductive Music use utilise accelerated learning, Bloom’s Taxonomy and formative assessment, in line with National Curriculum guidelines. Their aim is to establish transferrable blueprints for new music education, going beyond traditional curricula and incorporating a multi-disciplinary approach that connects science and engineering with music.

The Conductive Music website is a treasure trove of teaching and learning resources which are freely available to explore.
