Sailing, Whaling, Drilling
Sailing, Whaling, Drilling has been devised as a year-long pilot education project to investigate new ways of delivering music in primary schools.
Primary 6 pupils and their teachers from Peterhead Central and Dales Park Schools are working with composer, Kenneth Dempster and clarinettist, Joanna Nicolson, to create together a performance combining music, words and movement that will be performed in May 2012.
Sailing, Whaling, Drilling has been created following our discussions with primary school teachers involved in one-off workshops and Aberdeenshire Council in response to the increasing lack of music education in the classroom. The pilot is being documented, with the aim of creating an online toolkit and resource to give primary school teachers throughout Scotland the ideas, resources, inspiration and confidence to lead similar music workshops independently.
