“The courses are tightly linked to the subject-specific pedagogy behind effective music teaching and designed for maximum usability by non-specialists; with a consistent focus on objectives and outcomes for pupils and a clear link to the primary curriculum for music. There is a valuable range of resources available to teachers including case studies, further reading lists and advice on how to embed research-informed strategies in a whole school approach.”

“MES have provided bespoke training and support for our staff, instilling in them the confidence and motivation to provide teachers with the most up to date pedagogical approaches for curriculum music and assessment in schools. The support and training that MES has provided has been second to none and has been practical and discursive, ensuring the needs of JMS staff and schools in Jersey have been met.”

Gina McLinton, Jersey Music Service

“We initially employed the services of MES to deliver some training to our primary school partners, this was a huge success and well attended. I have found MES, in particular Elizabeth Stafford, to be hugely knowledgeable in the realms of music education. MES are well organised, prompt in meeting deadlines and are a quality service provider.”

Sarah Lawson, Hillcrest School & Community College

“We have worked with Music Education Solutions for a few years now and they’re very knowledgeable, professional and passionate about music and supporting and inspiring others to love it too!”

Vicky Cottrill, Kapow Primary

“Primary Music Magazine and MES’s conference and workshop events are perfect channels for connecting with serious music educators at Primary and Secondary schools. We’ve cut right back on our media advertising but this is one which we consider to be essential.”

Andy Gwatkin, Drums for Schools

“We have worked with Music Education Solutions to provide external CPD for our staff and the music leads in primary and secondary schools across the district. All sessions have been really engaging, knowledgeable and more importantly, really useful! The feedback from all involved has been really positive and Liz has been a pleasure to work with!”

Carl White, Bradford Music & Arts Service

“The Curriculum Music Conference is always a valuable day for all involved, with meaningful CPD sessions from a variety of music education professionals, opportunities to network and make connections, and, of course, have a great lunch! I am already looking forward to the next event!”

"Dr Stafford built a quick rapport with our primary school colleagues and led a personable and profitable session. Dr Stafford wove our pre-submitted questions very well into her webinar, making it very bespoke. We appreciated her down-to-earth manner and information about the wider context of what schools are actually expected to do, dispelling several myths. I know that participants found her approach engaging."

Nicola Rose, Milton Keynes Music Service

"We have been absolutely delighted to work with Liz to date. She brings a wealth of experience and delivers in a way that provides new learning for those experienced and also new to post. Her support in developing strategic music leadership, alongside sharing practical ideas to enrich the curriculum has been so useful. We look forward to continuing to benefit from Liz's support and challenge!"
