Arts Award and Music resources

A collection of resources and templates to support music leaders and teachers, schools, music organisations, music hubs and services

Young people doing a music based Arts Award will get involved in practical music making, listening to music, doing research and finding out about musicians who inspire them, and passing on their musical skills or leading projects. They collect evidence of their musical Arts Award journey as they go along, and can do this online, or in an arts log or portfolio which is then assessed by an Arts Award adviser.

Music teachers and tutors, Music Education Hub and music service staff or project and ensemble / group leaders can become Arts Award advisers and deliver Arts Award directly to young people in their own settings, within their own strategies and to their own timetables by attending adviser training and setting up their organisation as an Arts Award centre (or joining an existing one)
