Some of the kind comments and feedback we've received: 

Primary School Work

“Thank you so much for coming in and working with us. Staff feedback has been really positive. They have enjoyed the opportunity to work with a music specialist and feel more confident to try out some of the activities themselves - it can be very challenging to teach music if you are not musical! During the lesson I observed, all of the children were fully engaged and really worked together as a team. They listened carefully to your instruction and were able to produce very complex rhythms. I was very impressed with how inclusive the lesson was and the children were very proud of what they had achieved.” – Mrs B, Headteacher

“Nice quick pace. Could be easily adapted to one-to-one for child with special needs.” – Mrs H, Reception Teacher

“Improved coordination in sessions throughout the weeks.” – Year R teacher, Truro

“I saw improved confidence and concentration in your music lessons and it was good to see children who sometimes find it hard to achieve academically thriving in these lessons.” – Mr P, Year 3 teacher  

“Children felt they felt happier, found it easier to talk to one another, and improved behaviour.  When annoyed at playtime they sometimes did the cup song.  They felt more confident singers.  They felt more motivated.  United their friendships outside. Helped them concentrate and improve their concentration.” – KS2 Teacher

“Great to see how key vocabulary could be taught in an enjoyable way.” – KS2 Teacher

“Children who wouldn’t necessarily play together are working together to show children who struggled with the cup song how to do it and can now independently do it which is fantastic.”  – Miss F, KS2 Teacher

“I realise how often we are teaching children from the neck up in school, and it was so great to see them using their whole body in the sessions." – Mrs H, Primary Teacher

‘My son said that the rhythm work in the music session has really helped him with his aural for grade 1 piano.’ – Mrs W, Parent

Early Years Work

“They’ve loved the classes and I have seen so many benefits to them coming. You are always so enthusiastic and patient and your own passion for music shines in such a clever way. I think your sessions are fab!” – Mrs G, mum of 3 year old twins

“You are a wonderful teacher full of energy and fun, such a great stimulus for the children — and sleep deprived mums!” – Miss R, mum of 4 and 2 year old.

“Your classes have taught us so much over the past two years and I hope that at school he will continue to pursue his love of music. Music is something that my school didn’t really push and I often wish I had done more as a child. Your classes have given us such a great start.” – Mrs Q, mum of 4 year old

“Thank you for the great fun sessions that really helped to bring him out of his shell and give him confidence.” – Mrs R, Parent of 3 year old.

“You have given so much to my boys and their pre-school years have been better for knowing you. Your classes have been the highlight of our week!” – Mrs D, mum of 6 and 4 year old. 

“Out of all the preschool classes we’ve done this is by far our favourite and where we’ve seen the most progress. Thank you.” – Mrs B, parent of 2 year old

“Thank you for introducing Darcy to the magic of music in such a great way”. – Mum of 2 year old.
