Teaching primary music is often a frightening thought for teachers. Carol Aveyard has over 25 years experience working as a music teacher for music services, primary schools and private practice in the UK and USA.
We discuss simple free ideas every classroom teacher can implement easily. Fear often comes from the unknown, so we take music back to basics and walk you through examples of lessons that will have your classes filled with rhythm and song to give a wonderful foundation on which to build a thriving musical culture in your school.
