“From HMDT Music you get a rare combination of superb creative direction and rigorous administrative command. They’ve really helped all our schools to raise their game.”
HMDT Music’s award-winning projects for schools include commissions of new works for students to perform, which usually focus on celebrating those whose voices are rarely heard, supported by arts-embedded cross-curricular resources and workshops. It also offers CPD for teachers to support using the arts to enhance the curriculum, a range of bespoke creative projects and a wealth of resources and activities for commemorating Remembrance Day, Holocaust Memorial Day and Black History Month.
HMDT Music has been creating unique, award-winning projects for schools since 1995. These include commissions of new works for students to perform supported by arts-embedded cross-curricular resources, bespoke workshops, creative projects, after-school clubs, whole school Commemoration Days and a wealth of materials.
“No other musical company matches HMDT Music for quality, outstanding outcomes, profound musical and cross-curricular learning and long-term legacy. HMDT helped me turn around staff and parental expectations of the standard that could be achieved at the highest level across the whole school, leading to our first Outstanding Ofsted Report.”
“There is no doubt that without our long term involvement with the TIME Project our curriculum would not have been judged to be Outstanding by Ofsted.”
