What are people saying about the training?
-
“Lots of ideas to keep and use in the future. Different ways of thinking about schemas, that you may not even have thought about before. Like the use of songs we all know such as "driving in your car" and music such as zorba the greek will be just fantastic to do our music and dancing with. Much better than just dancing to same old songs and nursery rhymes that we usually use.”

“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 dont skip parts and being a visual learner watching the video and seeing the info underneath was great for me.”

“I’m a speech and language therapist and found this very inspiring. Its really useful for me to link the basic concepts and language I target in my sessions to the child’s development and schemas. Music is a great way to develop focus and joint attention, I look forward to planning some music sessions to target both schemas and language development. Thank you.”

- Can I share the training with other early years colleagues?
Each training place purchased is for an individual to watch and work through. Although if you work in a nursery and one member of staff undertakes the training and then wishes to pass on the knowledge and activities to others in person that is fine. However, that person CANNOT share their login details and the training material in electronic or printed format: e.g. videos, workbooks, checklists
- 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. They cannot be used for you to train others for financial gain.
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.
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 800 early years practitioners with music in their early years setting
