TESTIMONIALS

What Other Early Years Practitioners Are Saying

  • I love your resources and ideas. I really like your training videos explaining how to teach the songs-rhymes. I love your twists on well-known songs.

    I am about to look at and use the parachutes and lycra band training for expressive arts sessions.

    The Music Ideas has really helped me to develop and extend my music repertoire when teaching 3 and 4 year olds. It has helped to keep my teaching fresh!!! grinning

    Thank you, Anne!

    Abi

    Nursery teacher, South Wales

  • - Variety of songs
    - What various things you can do with songs/the same song
    - It’s good the songs are grouped into themes/months/areas of learning

    Liz Nightingale

    Early years music practitioner

  • Who has completed the Parachute, Lycra and Friendship Ring online training which is included with yearly membership:

    “I have loved the new ideas for songs and movements to do with the parachute, friendship ring, and lycra. We have a parachute at our setting and have a few ideas but felt quite limited with what to do with it. This training has extended my ideas and given me the confidence to think a little more outside the box with songs and rhymes that we enjoy in the setting also.”

    Kelly Hidalgo

  • Who has completed the Soft Toys, Scarves and Streamers online training which is included with yearly membership:

    “I loved how simple yet effective the ideas were during the training. I’ve realised how little I use puppets and soft toys in the nursery I work at, I think this has to do with a lack of knowledge or running out of ideas to not really having much to work with. So I have some ideas to put together a small basket with these resources in to encourage the children to use.”

    Sharron

  • Who has completed the Musical Instruments in the Early Years online training which is included with yearly membership:

    “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!”

Here’s a little about me and how I can help you

face transparent background

Anne B.Ed (Hons)

 

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.  I have worked with many children and have gained and developed fun ways to help children explore music.

In 2015 I started created music training for early years professionals through ‘Music in the Early Years' and  have helped over 1000 early years practitioners with music in their early years setting

I look forward to helping you bring more music to the children in your setting.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions 

These are some of the questions people most frequently ask us:

How do I access the membership site?

Very easily! As long as you have access to the internet on a device (phone, tablet or computer) you can access the online resource.  On signing up you will be allocated a username and password. 
Then, click on the link for the secure website, enter your login and password that’s it you can access the resource! Super easy!

I'm worried about entering my payment details online, how do I know it is safe?

My website is secure as can be seen by the padlock symbol in the address bar.

All payments are done securely through Stripe; your payment details are never disclosed.

Can I share the resource with colleagues?

Each access purchased is for an individual to use. That person CANNOT share their login details and the training material in electronic or printed format: e.g. MP3s, PDFs, workbooks.  

If there are a few of you that would like access please get in touch via the contact form.

Can I purchase membership if I run an under 5s children's business?

yes, the training and activity ideas you are free to use to teach young children. However, they are for your own use ONLY.   If there is more than one teacher/leader, in your independent business, you would need to purchase additional access for each teacher/leader.

THEY CANNOT BE USED FOR YOU TO TRAIN OTHERS FOR FINANCIAL GAIN OR BE ADDED TO A FRANCHISE CURRICULUM NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.

Will the resource show demonstrations with groups of children?

Sorry no, for child protection reasons this is not possible.
