"Who knows?"

The following chart show how the new A & C Black scheme can be used to provide broad coverage in line with the National Curriculum for Music for England.

This guidance is designed to supplement the materials available in this new scheme of musical activities.

Special Note: I am grateful for the work of Alison Keates and Dot Atkin (Shropshire Music Service) who worked with me in the preparation of this new support material.
