I lead training in teaching musicianship through singing. I work with primary school staff (class teachers, TAs, leadership teams) and instrumental teachers.
This may take the form of Inset Days / after school twilights / team teaching in class / in-person or online.
I can work at the level of individual coaching or leading large group workshops

“Many thanks for the inset last week, we all really enjoyed ourselves and had lots to take away, practice and use!!! The singing games were fantastic. I will be telling schools about your work. Thank you also for the very detailed and excellent notes for teachers.”

“To be honest I didn’t expect all staff to engage with singing straight away but I was proven wrong ! [The Inset] was a wonderful way to kick start our term as a team, being able to laugh and let go a bit while gathering all the tips and tricks to get going again with teaching music.”
