Fantastique! for Schools

INNOVATIVE DOWNLOADABLE TEACHING RESOURCES

Fantastique! for Schools is an innovative music education project which uses the works of Hector Berlioz as a basis for engaging children aged 8 to 13 with classical music through enjoyable, informative, hands-on activities and experiences.

We have created a package of free and easy to use online resources, including lesson plans, factsheets, audio and video clips, activity guides, worksheets and teacher packs. Presented in an attractive, child- and teacher-friendly format, these downloadable resources can be used both in the classroom, and online.

The “Hector” character who features on the website and in each of the lessons, modelled on the young Hector Berlioz and with distinctive red hair, has been created by Holly Newnham and animated by Nick Stewart.

Fantastique! for Schools has been developed in partnership with Bristol Beacon, the highly regarded music education hub for the Bristol area, and lesson plans have been developed by Bristol-area teachers.

We would like to thank the New Berlioz Edition Trust and the Foyle Foundation for their generous support. 

We would also like to thank the London Symphony Orchestra, the award-winning record label LSO Live and Aurora Orchestra for the provision of valuable, high-quality audio and video material for incorporation in the Fantastique! for Schools resources. Berlioz 150 is a corporate partner at Music Mark.
