Primary Schools Tours

Scottish Opera's annual Primary Schools Tour is one of our longest established and most popular education programmes. Each tour helps teachers all over Scotland deliver aspects of A Curriculum for Excellence for P5 to P7 pupils. As well as making learning exciting, challenging and creative, it allows up to 100 pupils to participate in a high quality, day-long music theatre workshop.

Each school that participates in a tour receives:

· High quality teaching resources, including a teaching pack and CD to help teach

  and introduce the music and related activities.

· An advance visit from a specialist choral musician.
· A day-long workshop with a team of highly experienced arts education specialists

  and performers.
· A performance for family, friends and schoolmates to share, with full technical

  support, costumes and props.
