To capture the heritage uncovered from Kingston RPM and inspire the next generation, an Educational Resource Pack was created. The pack is free to use and you can download it below.
Who is this toolkit for?
This toolkit has been predominantly designed for use by KS3 and KS4 teachers and those working in a youth work setting, but should prove interesting reading to anybody with an interest in Kingston-upon-Thames’ rich musical heritage.
What will I find in the toolkit?
This toolkit provides a brief overview of the three key themes uncovered by the Kingston RPM – Records, People & Music project, as well as accompanying curriculum-focused activities to complete with your group.
