The new Successful Futures curriculum in Wales places a strong emphasis on
cross-curricular working, defining six broad ‘Areas of Learning and Experience’
(AoLE), one of which is expressive arts. Initial Teacher Education (ITE) practitioners
at Cardiff Metropolitan University are engaged in a project entitled A Connected
Curriculum, which aims to explore the challenges and opportunities of working within
these AoLEs. This article details the early stages of delivery of collaborative work
between music and drama PGCE lecturers and their students, in which the
possibilities for deep connections to be made between the subject knowledge and
skills of both subjects are explored. This work, while prompted by curriculum
developments in Wales, has relevance for teacher educators with an interest in
cross-curricular teaching and learning in all countries.
