On the Telly with Teachers TV

Teacher’s TV with their partner production company Lambent productions came and visited for 2 days, Wednesday 6^th and Wednesday 13^th of February. Leading Edge manager Conor Doherty provided and planned the content of the shows and liaised with Lambent productions. On the first day they interviewed Conor extensively about strategies for teaching world music for GCSE and A Level. Lisa Hampson, music teacher at St Georges VA School Harpenden visited on the second day and spent the day with Conor and groups of BRIT music students learning and analysing music from West Africa. Conor provided an information pack for her to use as a basis for her world music lessons with KS 3 and 4. All these days were filmed and will form the basis of a documentary which will be shown soon on Teacher’s TV and will be available to download. Our students gained valuable experience of performing for television and how a programme is made. St. Georges School benefited from curriculum enrichment and some professional development for their music teacher. A very interesting and enjoyable experience for all involved.
