Empowering Music Teachers
We support the mentoring of music teachers in early-childhood education settings, primary schools and high schools. Music is unique and good in itself. It enhances the child’s learning experience. Quality music education develops a wide range of skill areas – it requires high levels of concentration, builds intrinsic motivation, enhances creativity, and leads to higher performance levels across a range of subject areas including Mathematics, Science and Languages. Music fosters a sense of connection and forges lifelong friendships.
Bringing music to classrooms since 1998
In 1998 Cottage School of Music (now Cottage Music Institute) was founded, offering a unique form of Musicianship and Choral Training to students of every age from 2 years through to university level, as well as Professional Development programmes for teachers.
