Although many activities were established initially in response to the Covid 19 pandemic, NTMEH plans to continue to expand and develop this offer. In a recent survey, just over half of the participants of our Youth Music funded project, Standing Upright, indicated that they would like to see virtual activities continuing in the longer term.
Some examples of our recent blended and virtual learning offer include:
Music Takeaway

SEND Provision
NTMEH provides a range of services and support to SEND and alternative educational provision settings in North Tyneside through our specialist Service Level Agreement (SLA).
Musical Inclusion
‘Musical Inclusion is about removing barriers to ensure all children enjoy full participation in a music education that supports the development and achievement of each young person based on their individual abilities, needs and interests’.
CPD For Schools
In addition to termly network meetings and drop-in sessions, NTMEH offers a wide range of continuing Professional Development (CPD) opportunities for music teachers, senior leaders, tutors and freelance practitioners.
Instrumental Tuition
All instrumental lessons are delivered by our team of freelance visiting music teachers, some of whom are commissioned directly through the hub, with others directly contracted via schools and parents.
Blended & Virtual Learning
North Tyneside Music Education Hub have recently developed a strengthened blended learning model to support schools and young people in the area.
Singing Strategy
We also host a number of collaborative events, not least our annual Spring Sing: a week-long singing celebration held each year at the Whitley Bay Playhouse which usually involves over 1,000 children and young people from our primary schools across North Tyneside.
Whether it’s developing people’s skills and knowledge through training or bringing colleagues together at an event, our teams deliver training and events that reflect your current needs.
