Are you looking for new ways for children to explore the main 8 schemas?
The online training course 'Music and Schemas' will take you through how you can use music activities to explore schemas:
Trajectory
Rotation
Enclosing
Enveloping
Transporting
Connecting
Positioning
Orientation
It includes multi-sensory ideas that I have developed and explored with children over the years. We will work through different types of music activities and how you could use these as a stimulus to explore schemas.
Giving you great value for money with step-by-step help that is for anyone who works with children from ~2 to 5 years.
Your training will take place on this secure website with your own private login. Where you will be able to complete the online training on a device and a place that suits you: be that a smart phone, tablet or computer in a comfy arm chair or at a desk.
There are two options to do the training, '30 Days Access' or 'Access for as Long as You Need to Complete the Training'
Both options are self study so you can decide at what pace you wish to complete it. If you choose 'Access for as Long as You Need to Complete the Training' you can re-visit anything you want to go back over whenever you want.

- Can I do the training 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. THEY CANNOT BE USED FOR YOU TO TRAIN OTHERS FOR FINANCIAL GAIN OR BE ADDED TO A FRANCHISE CURRICULUM.
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.
'30 Days Access' option, when does my access end?
You get exactly 30 days from purchase. So for example, if you purchase at 1 pm today your access will end at 1 pm in 30 days.
'30 Days Access' option, can you extend my access beyond the 30 days?
Sorry no, you will get exactly 30 days. You can purchase an additional '30 Days Access' when it expires or, if you're not sure how long you wish to access the training, please consider purchasing 'Access for as long as you need to complete the training' instead.
If I change my mind after purchase, can I get a refund?
This is a digital product and is delivered immediately after purchase and therefore under UK law doesn't fall under the 14 day 'cooling off' period. This means that you won't get a refund
Will the training show demonstrations with groups of children?
Sorry no, for child protection reasons this is not possible.
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 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
