Past course attendees said:

I have loved this course! My understanding of the importance of music for early years has grown no end. I would definitely recommend it to any of my practitioners if the opportunity arose again. Thank you. (EYFS Pre-School Manager)

Thank you for such a rich, engaging and useful course. Each week I have taken away something that I can practically use within my setting. (Reception Class Teacher and Acting Headteacher)

Thank you so SO much. It has really inspired me to connect with children musically. I have learnt so much over the 6 sessions and have loved the practical songs, opportunities to practise together and understanding the purpose/why along with information, videos/real life examples. I feel I have left with a wealth of resources to use and share with staff in my setting.   Thank you again, you are amazing! (EYFS Lead and Teacher)
