Music In Early Years

Coda has provided training for staff in 12 local pre-school nursery settings. Developed in partnership with Hampshire Children's Services, the project aims to provide strategic professional development for staff to begin to use music and singing in their everyday work through twilight training sessions and pactice based visits to each nursery.

The project, led by Liz Le Rossignol from Coda, has been hugely successful with participants, now armed with new found musical skills and confidence, leading a range of sessions with children.

A number of Children's Centres across the region are now also engaging Coda to work with registered childminders to support their use of music with children in the home.

School Projects

Coda devises and delivers large scale projects with local schools, often addressing issues around transiition from primary to secondary school or family learning and is always looking for new partners with whom to work. We are currently delivering First Access/Wider Opportunity projects to primary schools across Bournemouth and a programme of holiday workshops for schools and their pupils in the New Forest.

We are also currently developing our work with children with severe behavioural, emotional or social difficulties and/or learning difficulties through our longstanding relationship with Coxlease School in Lyndhurst. This work seeks to engage pupils in constructive, creative music workshopsand learning to provide new skills and accredited educational goals, as well as providing inspirational role models through our music leaders.
