All of the course was excellent, thank you. Could have been longer to learn more and have even more fun! It has improved my subject knowledge and also shown my how to use music across the curriculum.

All of the ideas provided were very engaging and relevant. Please run a course for KS2.

I thought the course was fantastic. Great to have experience with the instruments.
Received from BA (Hons) Education Studies and Early Childhood Studies Student
Always brilliant to be reminded of Orff approaches. I now have more confidence and new ideas to implement. Thank you.
Received from Year 1 Teacher
Lots of examples I would use in school which were very appropriate for my Foundation Phase pupils. I plan to use all of the ideas and examples with pupils back in school. The course also made me think about how to push younger children further with instrumental work as well as singing.
Received from Infant Teacher
Most valuable were the hands on activities, of which there were several, from which I can translate ideas into my learning sessions. I am now inspired to bring more percussion centred activities into my learning sessions, in particular improvisation / composition into KS1 lessons.
Received from Early Years Foundation Stage and KS1 Music Teacher
Everything was valuable. Very informative. Great to be “doing” rather than just making notes. Nice to have an enthusiastic teacher who made it fun. I will use lots of the songs and the website.
Received from Learning Support Assistant in Nursery
Which part of the course was most valuable? All of it. Great ideas which will definitely be used in my Foundation Phase classroom next week.
Received from Music Co-ordinator
Practical, simple ideas that all teachers are able to do. It has given really good ideas to implement in school. The course could have been improved by running it for an extra day so that we could learn more about Orff activities and broaden the range. Could you run a junior course too please?
Received from Reception Teacher and Music Co-ordinator
Most valuable aspect were the many practical ideas to use in the classroom. The course has raised my confidence in using musical activities in the classroom.
Received from Year 2 Teacher and Foundation Phase Leader
Excellent ideas to take with me to the classroom. Lots of fun. I feel that I could adopt the philosophy that “there is something of an artist in everyone”.
