A new programme, initiated and supported by Vaughan Williams Charitable Trust and produced by the Music Teachers’ Association, has been set up to provide resources for the teaching of various aspects of RVW’s work, from Early Years Foundation Stage through to Key Stage 5. We are beginning the release of these materials to coincide with our Annual Conference in May and continuing to the start of the academic year, completely free of charge to all schools and organisations running education projects.
