“I found this training really helpful in that it was made up of short videos that were easy to follow and you provided lots of different types of music and ideas of how to use these.
I love that you have covered all the areas of the curriculum that they cover too and these ideas are easy to pass on to other members of staff.
I am looking forward to introducing these ideas into my setting.”Joanne Sinclair

“It was really interesting. I am a childminder and there were lots of useful ideas for even our tiniest children. Especially useful were the music suggestions and the checklist.”

Does my training help?
Yes! Here are a few comments from my other online training course:
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.

A little about me…
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 creating 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
