If you are looking to hone your skills and resources for when working with young children, there is a huge range of digital and practical training courses on offer. A rule of thumb, before committing precious finances, is to investigate whether the trainers or course creators come from 1) an Early Years music background, 2) a background in music education, and 3) an organisation committed to developing musical outcomes.
Be cautious of businesses leaping on the musical band-wagon, with ‘Save your children through music’, ‘Be part of the Mozart effect’ and so forth. Consider what you want for your professional self as well as what you want young children to achieve. Becoming an Early Years music specialist requires proper investment, time and experience.
