“Part of Clare’s Doctoral research involved the often hidden aspects of institutional racism. As a result she has a longstanding interest in, and passion for, promoting positive Diversity – and did it with such clarity and care via this beautifully presented online course.

Highly recommend for anyone who wants to gain a deeper understanding of this subject.”

‘I was very impressed with your resources. I used them in school and they work really well – better than anything else that I have tried.'

Katherine Owen, Mostly Music

‘Lots of original, engaging, fun songs, plenty of music and movement, with visual stimulation for the little ones to enjoy and learn from.’
Rebecca Meadows, Teacher
'Thanks for the excellent resources and workshop! As a music teacher I’ll find the SEND and EAL objectives so helpful to my teaching. Linking musical concepts together with the Early Learning Goals makes so much sense.'
