Here’s a little about me and how I can help you
I’m Anne, a musician, composer, teacher, trainer and mum!
I started teaching music to the under 5s in 1998 as a qualified primary teacher and was also the school Music Co-ordinator. After a break from teaching, to look after my own little people, I setup Musical abc in 2008 to teach music to the under 5s: classes for babies, toddlers and preschools.
I have worked with many children and have gained and developed fun ways to help children explore music. I will be sharing my ideas through this resource. I love helping others and I’m excited to be able to help more Early Years Practitioners.
I look forward to helping you bring more music to the children in your setting.
