I was a year into running my own vocal coaching business when I began working in schools as a peripatetic music teacher, alongside working on a Schools Sings project. It was around this time that I was put in contact with MEO about completing my CME with them.

After speaking with Marie, the CME course seemed like the perfect fit for me. The course was structured really well, and its flexibility made it easy to fit around my existing work commitments and busy working life. I particularly appreciated that the course could be completed in a way that suited each individual learner. For me, presenting my ideas through video and PowerPoint was the easiest and most effective way to communicate my understanding and share my work.

Designed and taught by experienced and knowledgeable music specialists, the CME is a practical course exploring resources, planning and approaches to music sessions, while also introducing different pedagogies. It gave me everything I was looking for, and so much more.

The course has had a huge impact on my work. As well as highlighting what good-quality music practice can look like, it showed me the importance of providing children with positive musical experiences and giving them opportunities to explore and play freely with music. The course also acted as a catalyst for extending my knowledge and understanding, encouraging me to continue developing my practice and thinking more deeply about how I can support children’s musical learning.

The course also gave me the opportunity to bring together my existing knowledge and identify any gaps in my musical or teaching practice. It has been incredibly valuable and has helped shape me into a more confident and effective music teacher.
