Does my training help?
Yes! Here are a few comments from my other online training course:
Musical Instruments in the Early Years “It was absolutely fantastic! Such a brilliant course. So many wonderful ideas and activities to implement within school. The wealth of information and depth was brilliant. I loved how the course covered so many areas of delivering music using instruments, singing, video clips, home-made percussion instruments and music apps. I will certainly be signing up to more courses in the future!” Rebecca Pye. Primary teacher and Music Lead
Parachutes, Lycra and Friendship Ring “I wrote down some new songs to me but as you was talking I found myself thinking of all the different songs we use daily and how we could use them. The short demonstrations were really good just enough to point you in the right direction of how to use it with the children. Made me realise just how many different benefits there are to using them and in my head was really thinking of a lot of children whom would benefit in different ways. I in particular work with children with sen so some really good ideas here and some really simple .” Zoe
Soft Toys, Scarves and Streamers “It was useful to expand on what I would normally do for singing with the children. Never really thought about using soft toys or even scarves while singing.
Such a nice, gentle and laid back approach to training. Felt very informative without overloading me. Plenty of wonderful resources too.” Glenn. Little Peanuts Day Nursery
The Singing Box “Very useful, it helped me think about how to choose songs and how to build up from singing to adding movement and props to develop ideas. The templates are very useful for planning and providing links to nurseries to show how you plan your singing time.” Alison Wynne
Musical Elements: “I enjoyed the fact that everything was explained simply so that if you were learning about music for the first time you could understand everything.” Jenny Hughes
Music and the 7 Areas of Learning: “This training has again shown me how important music is in the Early Years, it is a vital part of learning and development. I will be using so much from this course, I can't wait to try some of the songs with my nursery class." Becca
Music and Schemas: “I really enjoyed all the different types of recorded songs. Such a variety and has given me new fresh ideas. I was looking for a friendship ring for months and thank you for the link, I purchased one. I like that I will be able to go back into the training to go over ideas as my group develops. It was quick and easy to go into each video and you have a lovely voice so could watch all the videos one after the other. I also like that they were quick and straight to the point. It has also given me great ideas for resources. I think that having a training that is detailed but quick means you don't skip parts and being a visual learner watching the video and seeing the info underneath was great for me.” Rachel Kirkpatrick.
