SUMMARY:The Little Sing 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Little Sing 2026 – Songs from the deep\, blue sea!  \nThe Little Sing is an interactive Performance Event for Key Stage 1 from Music Connect\, with funding from the West Yorkshire Music Hub (WYMH).  \nOn Friday 20th March 2026\, Music Connect\, led by ArtForms\, will host our ninth annual Little Sing for Key Stage 1. This is an immersive Musical Experience for children\, where they are the performers as well as the audience.   \nThe children always love the session of singing\, playing instruments and moving\, as do the adults who attend. The theme this year will be all about the sea: a journey over the waves\, singing songs as we go. The band and singing leaders will be dressed for the theme and the stage will be filled with sea creatures and colourful backdrops\, ready to welcome over 1000 children throughout the course of the day over two sessions.   \nHere’s some feedback from Little Sing ’25:  \nIt was great to have the music beforehand so we could learn with the children. We loved the costumes and the setting of the event. The mini beasts were great! We really enjoyed the choice of music and the fast-moving pace of the event. Children were engaged throughout. It was great to see so many children using the sticks. Y1 teacher\, Stanningley Primary School. \nChildren have been singing the songs in the playground\, and they really enjoyed being outside of their classroom environment.  Y1 teacher\, Park View Primary Academy  \nIt was brilliant! Music leader\, Pudsey Southroyd Primary  \nFeedback from a selection of the young people who attended the event:  \nWe liked the Minibeast Rave and the opportunity to play the instruments. Daisy  \nWe liked that the singers came to the back with us to sing and dance. Katie  \nWe loved the minibeast outfits and singers. Ibraheem  \nThis is the best day ever! Jacob  \n

SUMMARY:Big Samba Teacher Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Monday 27th April from 4:00-5:30\, at Pudsey Civic Hall. \nThis is for schools who have successfully signed up to the Big Samba event. The workshop\, led by ArtForms\, will cover what is taught to the children participating and teachers will collect the samba kits to take back to school. \nBig Samba a CPD and Performance Event from Music Connect led by ArtForms.  \nOn Friday 10th July\, Music Connect led by ArtForms will host our 11h annual Big Samba event for upper key stage 2 children at Pudsey Civic Hall.  This event is partially funded by ArtForms as part of the West Yorkshire Music Hub.  There will now be a charge of £2 per child to take part.  \nTeachers from participating schools will attend a twilight Samba workshop at Pudsey Civic Hall on Monday 27th April – 4:00-5:30.  For the first time this session will be led by ArtForms staff featuring Will Fletcher and Jim Gaylard from the Percussion team alongside Sam Mercer and Claire Rivers who lead Music Connect.  They will teach teachers how to use the instruments and how to play and compose Samba grooves.  At this session staff also collect the Samba Kits\, provided by ArtForms specifically for the project\, to take back to their schools.    \nFor those of you who don’t know\, Samba is a form of Music for untuned percussion that originates from Brazil.  Like Brazilian football\, Samba Music has a degree of flare and joy that encourages movement and dance\, particularly when you are playing it.    \n The project is a wonderful way of encouraging and inspiring class teachers\, to learn new skills and teach a completely new style of Music.  The grooves that staff learn at Pudsey start at a basic level but progress to a good level of challenge for both staff and the children who they will be teaching.  This is brilliantly supported by a full set of YouTube videos produced by our partners\, Louder Than Life\, with each part clearly broken down\, so that staff can use them for reference or to support their teaching.    \nOur evaluations show that 100% of the staff who took part have developed new Music teaching skills and feel that their confidence to teach Music has improved as a result of this project.  When asked went well here’s what they had to say –   \n‘They loved it! Best event ever was pupil voice.’  Caroline Pattenden – Alwoodley Primary  \n‘The children were buzzing when they returned to school and school leaders invited them to perform in an impromtu assembly!’  Marion Barnes – Shakespeare Primary  \nYoutube videos really helpful – such high quality. Not onerous. We have high level of SEN (over 50%) and it all still felt really accessible and inclusive. Friendly atmosphere etc.  Sarah Triner – Bankside Primary

SUMMARY:Primary Big Samba Performance
DESCRIPTION:Big Samba a CPD and Performance Event from Music Connect led by ArtForms.  \nOn Friday 10th July\, Music Connect led by ArtForms will host our 11h annual Big Samba event for upper key stage 2 children at Pudsey Civic Hall.  This event is partially funded by ArtForms as part of the West Yorkshire Music Hub.  There will now be a charge of £2 per child to take part.  \nTeachers from participating schools will attend a twilight Samba workshop at Pudsey Civic Hall on Monday 27th April – 4:00-5:30.  For the first time this session will be led by ArtForms staff featuring Will Fletcher and Jim Gaylard from the Percussion team alongside Sam Mercer and Claire Rivers who lead Music Connect.  They will teach teachers how to use the instruments and how to play and compose Samba grooves.  At this session staff also collect the Samba Kits\, provided by ArtForms specifically for the project\, to take back to their schools.    \nFor those of you who don’t know\, Samba is a form of Music for untuned percussion that originates from Brazil.  Like Brazilian football\, Samba Music has a degree of flare and joy that encourages movement and dance\, particularly when you are playing it.    \nThe project is a wonderful way of encouraging and inspiring class teachers\, to learn new skills and teach a completely new style of Music.  The grooves that staff learn at Pudsey start at a basic level but progress to a good level of challenge for both staff and the children who they will be teaching.  This is brilliantly supported by a full set of YouTube videos produced by our partners\, Louder Than Life\, with each part clearly broken down\, so that staff can use them for reference or to support their teaching.    \nOur evaluations show that 100% of the staff who took part have developed new Music teaching skills and feel that their confidence to teach Music has improved as a result of this project.  When asked went well here’s what they had to say –    \n‘They loved it! Best event ever was pupil voice.’  Caroline Pattenden – Alwoodley Primary  \n ‘The children were buzzing when they returned to school and school leaders invited them to perform in an impromtu assembly!’  Marion Barnes – Shakespeare Primary  \n Youtube videos really helpful – such high quality. Not onerous. We have high level of SEN (over 50%) and it all still felt really accessible and inclusive. Friendly atmosphere etc.  Sarah Triner – Bankside Primary
