What People Say About our Training
"Emma shows us how we can use all sorts of resources to work into the structure of lessons. I would highly recommend her courses to you. She has spent many years developing face-to-face training to the online platform. They will be a huge source of inspiration."
Charlotte Leng Head of Primary Music, British International School, Malaysia
"I used some of the techniques shown in Emma’s training. When starting our field placement I managed to use some of the music exercises which the children loved."
Shantelle Bugeja, Malta University 2022
"Thank you also for everything you have done for me here at the Music House for Children. I have learned so much and I always felt supported at your lovely school."
Jesse N.
"Children’s vocalisations are more refined, often more creative and imaginative when they use all their senses, are emotionally engaged and have been moving their whole bodies.
When leaders allowed the children to lead and responded to their vocalisations and interests, there were unexpected levels of musical attunement and harmony as well as ‘conversations’ where they sparked each other’s ideas."
Daisis, Devon
