The Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL)
Music and Inclusivity 2005 - 2010
This website is the repository of news items, materials, research reports, photos and music from the CETL for Music and Inclusivity, a partnership between all the universities of the North East in association with The Sage Gateshead.
The CETL began in March 2005 and ended in June 2010 having successfully delivered 12 innovative curriculum development projects. The projects addressed inclusivity by both broadening music education to encompass students of diverse backgrounds and promoting all musical practices that stake a claim to a place in contemporary culture; popular, classical, folk and traditional, brass band, new or avant garde, and world musics.
Bringing together the strengths of the Higher Education partners and the many networks around The Sage Gateshead the CETL has:
- helped highly diversified groups of new students negotiate the transition into HE Music study
- enhanced and diversified the central musical learning experiences of our Music curricula
- devised strategies for dealing with musical diversity on practical, creative and theoretical levels
- addressed the transition out of HE into the professional world, for students of all musical profiles
Most importantly the CETL has created a strong network for sharing and developing pedagogical approaches, a lasting legacy which will continue to enable collaborative activity between the Music Departments of the North East and The Sage Gateshead in the years to come.
The national HEFCE funded CETL programme ended in March 2010.
