We have highly experienced adult education tutors who are also QTS to run these courses. All course tutors have between them a combination of the following experience/qualifications.... ofsted inspectors, music directors for other LEAs, leading practitioners in adult education, keynote workshop leaders/presenters for organisations such as the National Association of Music Educators (NAME) and the Federation of Music Services (FMS). All tutors prepare their course content with the delegate in mind (generalist classroom teacher, specialist, TAs etc). All courses provide the attendee with resources and/or instruments/books/music, refreshments and lunch if relevant. We provide a lovely venue so that our delegates can move out of the school environment. Therefore the cost does not only reflect the tutor fee. You might want to attend just one of our courses so that you can see for yourself how we are different! |
