Tamsyn Durrant started her teaching career as a class teacher before going on to specialise in music education for primary aged children. She first became interested in the Orff approach early in her teaching career, after her mother encouraged her to go on a Summer School with the inspirational tutors Peter Sidaway and Doug Goodkin. She qualified as an Advanced Skills Teacher which led to an advisory role across Leeds schools and worked at a national level on the Orff Society UK committee for several years. She currently teaches classroom music from Reception to Year 6 across two schools in Leeds and Otley, and tutors on the Red Kite Learning Trust PGCE programme. During the Covid pandemic, she started a YouTube channel (‘Mrs Durrant rhymes with currant’) to encourage active music making at home and retain a connection with her pupils. Her videos have been watched over 410k times, in over 50 countries across the world.
