## An inclusive national music making programme for KS2, KS3 and SEND
learners; inspiring young composers across the country.
###
_“The recent Finish This project has completely raised the profile of
composing in our school… It was the most exciting project, broke down so many
barriers and was completely inclusive.”_
Bringing together a fusion of opera, film and animation: _Finish This…_ is a
creative springboard for collaborative composition work in the classroom.
Using an especially commissioned operatic piece, and supported with teacher
CPD and toolkit package resources.
Over the 2023/24 academic year, **14,000 pupils** from over **200 different
schools** across the country, have taken on the role of ENO Composer. We asked
each class to create and produce their own music through an invitation to
respond to, and resolve, Omar Shahryar’s purposefully unfinished operatic
piece, _‘Blue, Red, Yellow’_. Each class is tasked with choosing a fourth
colour, and composing a 1-1.5 minute composition that represents their chosen
colour and finishes off Omar’s piece.
Schools were provided with Teacher CPD training, toolkit resources, a suite of
digital films and an operatic piece, especially commissioned for young
audiences.
We are thrilled to present and celebrate the first music compositions and
creative work here, with another two uploads to look forward to later in the
year. A huge congratulations to all our young composers.

## What Teachers have to say:
In our feedback survey from the 2022-23 year:
* 100% of teachers said they were likely to recommend this project to another school
* 100% of teachers agreed or strongly agreed that pupils developed composition skills over the course of the project
* 88% of non-music specialist teachers agreed or strongly agreed they felt more confident teaching music in the classroom
* 89% of teachers agreed or strongly agreed that pupils improved their self-belief, confidence and resilience.
_“ Both pupils and myself have thoroughly enjoyed this experience. The pupils
were motivated throughout and thoughtfully worked during the sessions. I have
also learnt a great deal.“_
_“ This is such an excellent project. Our children really enjoyed it. It got
them using so much musical vocabulary and thinking about notation and musical
creativity in a very different way.“_
_“This project has been enjoyed by all the students and staff in Kahlo class
we have all learned new skills and it has help me push the bounderies, so that
the students in my class could all join in and achieve.”_
_“I have been teaching Music in Special Schools around Manchester and Cheshire
for 20 years and this is the most inclusive and exciting project I have seen
over the years. The work Emily has done to truly ‘include’ SEND is
brilliant.”_
_“Thank you for this wonderful project. My class has absolutely loved creating
their turquoise piece. They have learnt so much from this project about being
a composer. Many have been inspired to test their creativity and have all
spoken very warmly about the other things they have learnt from this
experience. To persevere, work collaboratively, listen and improve, how to try
out different ideas and listen for what works best , even when this means
making tough choices about the sounds that didn’t work as well. Their focus
and excitement about coming to music to work on this project has been amazing.
