Cool4School blog posts

Thank you to our Cool4School users who responded to our questionnaire. It is the first time we have sort feedback in this way. For potential new users of Cool4School we hope it will give you an insight and ideas of how you can integrate and use the content in your music program. For Cool4School users, maybe this will give you new ideas. 

This footage is taken from a recent visit to Florida, USA. Rainbow Elementary are a super-user. It was a thrill to visit them and Midway Elementary in Seminole District. The music standard and provision is amazing. Cool4School playing a part in this is something we are very proud of.

LESSON PLANNING & TEACHING TIPS

Over the coming weeks we will be sharing the experiences of Music teachers who have successfully used Cool4School in their music programme. We begin with music teacher Becky Senko of Rainbow Elementary School, Florida. Becky has taught all ages and has run successful strings and singing programs at senior and elementary level. We wanted to see how she had incorporated Cool4School into her teaching. 

‘We're looking to do something different’. 
This is what Tamsin, Head of Bedford Music Hub said when she first approached Cool4School to partner with the hub.
It was music to our ears.

Amongst many things Nicola is one of the voices of Cool4School. Nicola’s soulful vocals can be heard in Marcel's Nu Jazz band, Bassistry. She’s played countless shows, and recorded of number of albums with us. Besides recording and performing, Nicola has set up, and runs her own educational vocal company, Vocal Works. She also works for the Inspiring Music, the Bedfordshire Education music provider. We caught up with her recently to find out how she was using Cool4School.
