'IMPULSE' A CASE STUDY ON THE PARTICIPATION OF COMMUNITY ARTISTS IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS Alison Cox, Head of Composition Nick Rampley, Director of Finance and Administration Over the past twelve months the Purcell School has been undertaking a project which provides an illustration of one of the main topics for discussion of this meeting, the 'participation of community artists in the educational process'. We have developed programmes in which, under the tutelage of the professional musicians, our own students have then acted as mentors and tutors to the pupils in the community. We hope it will be of wider interest in that the project has had as one of its objectives the creation on links between pupils and artists with a view to developing their creative thinking, one of the purposes of this very meeting. Before describing the project in detail, you must first understand a little about the Purcell School and we will put it into context by giving you a brief overview of some recent thinking that has taken place in the UK on the issue of creative and cultural education. |
