What’s happening on the dayLearn how to teach music confidently in a neurodiverse classroom — and how music can be used to support communication, concentration, engagement and access to the wider curriculum.
This informal CPD session is led by Susan Sinclair, Charanga Associate Trainer and Content Creator, and the creator of some of Charanga’s most widely used classroom songs worldwide, including Plastic Song, Be Safe Online and It’s OK (Please Just Say).
Susan is a qualified teacher and inclusive classroom specialist, with extensive experience supporting neurodiverse learners and helping teachers make music lessons work for every child. She currently practises as a music consultant at Bridgewater Primary School through Music Partnership North, bringing real, current classroom experience to the session.
