Music teacher training

Teaching children to appreciate and understand music is a rewarding career. Not only that, but you will no doubt be the person behind school shows and concerts that are at the heart of communities and school memories.

"Every child, regardless of their ability, has something to offer musically. It is part of our human nature and it's something I love to nurture every day."
