21.01.2022 Would you like to join the Bushfire Press team? We are working on a brand new project to add an exciting new product to our Music Room range of resources. As you know, Music Room and its digital version, eMusic Room, are the perfect classroom companions for pre-prepared developmental and curriculum based music lessons through the whole of primary school. You used to have to juggle CDs, DVDs and printed charts (all supplied) - but it could be easier.... eMusic Room goes part of the way by putting it all at your fingertips - most of the juggling taken care of, but it's actually a teacher lesson resource book, and is really not set up to present the lesson to your students seamlessly. We are sure many of you have done some extra work on this preparing your own lessons, and many of you will have used presentation resources like Powerpoint, Google Slides or Keynote - and we would love to hear from you. We are looking for teachers who might like to co-develop this resource with us. Teachers who know Music Room and who know their way around powerpoint type presentation software. We have the building blocks, the lessons, the resources and the style guides. You have the expertise to put it all together. We would love to hear from you! [email protected]
