Certificate for Music Educators Early Childhood 2026/27

April 14, 2026

£800 Bursary available for people living or working in Somerset or Dorset

Suitable for music teachers and early years providers who are passionate about strengthening their early childhood music practice.

This course is designed around your own practice. Rather than promoting a single teaching method, it explores how young children learn through music and the crucial role adults play in fostering confidence, creativity and musicality in the early years.

Previous students describe the course as inspiring, transformative and immediately impactful in their settings - with many going on to further study and leadership in early years music.

If you’re ready to deepen your expertise, strengthen provision in your setting, and join a supportive network of practitioners, this is a wonderful opportunity.
