Feedback on training:

 

My name is Janet Kerr and I am a PGDE student at Dundee University. I just want to write and thank you for your amazing input on Thursday. I was petrified at the thought of teaching music…but not now. This is such an amazing resource and now I can’t wait to teach music. I’ve signed up and raring to go.
Student Teacher (about to start final placement):Feedback after 2-hour training session on ABC Online

“ABC training was informative, non-threatening (to non-musical people such as me!). Tom who ran the training was open, friendly and happy to help out with any classroom issues. The ABC website transformed music in our school. The activities are fun and the children get a real sense of achievement from completing them. Teachers are able to break down the skills in manageable proportions in an easy, clear way. I love using the website as everything is at your fingertips – from clear instructions to the music needed for each activity. No more working with books, cards and cds at the same time. Thanks Tom.”
Jane Andrew Class Teacher, East Ayshire

“The training was well planned and superbly delivered. Even the most non-musical of teachers find the resource simple and easy to use, while there is sufficient scope for the more-musical to strive for even greater depth. After the training we were all excited and eager to bring more music into our classrooms. Thanks ABC for some great training and a fabulous resource. Our school is now alive with the sound of music! ABC has always been a great resource but the new online version is perfect for the interactive whiteboard generation.” Ian Armstrong, Class Teacher, Strathesk Primary, Midlothian

“Thanks for the great In-Service, it was much appreciated. All the evaluation was excellent.
All the people are wanting more and thought you produced a fun and exciting day.”
