Instrumental Lessons
I can provide 1- 1 or small group lessons in singing, piano or recorder. I am able to adapt the lessons to meet the needs of the child and have vast experience of children with additional needs.
Group Music
I have delivered group music lessons that meet National Curriculum objectives or meet the needs of the group. I use a range of instruments and props to engage the children and can work within a given topic or adapt the session to match the children's interests. I incorporate listening and responding to music, singing and music making.
Performing Arts Sessions
I can provide a one off session or a course (such as a weekly club). These sessions are built around a theme and children engage in drama, dance and singing activities which can culminate in a performance for parents.
