Alan Cameron, Education Officer and project manager, Effective Learning & Teaching through Video Conferencing

4 rurally isolated primary schools have been engaged in a 2-year programme with 30 primary pupils receiving weekly lessons via video conferencing from an instrumental tutor on brass instruments. The project has been greatly enhanced through partnership working with the London Symphony Orchestra. Rod Franks (Principal Trumpet, LSO) has given additional lessons via video-link direct from the St Luke’s Centre, London to the remote schools. This session will look at how the quality of learning and teaching exceeded Headteachers’ expectations.
