Cellobabies and Audrey
I met Kay with a view to starting to teach cellobabies in February 2008. I now have pupils at Kings Hall School Taunton, Wellington Junior School and Millfield Pre Prep. In February 2009 Kay was able to visit and work with my pupils. The day was enjoyed by all, and the cellobabies were given some new ideas (and a new song) to try.
The Cellobabies method works well for me because it has such variety, and scope for teachers to use their imagination. Children can benefit from a wide range of activities in a short session. If their eyes start to glaze over then it is easy to move to something else. The book is cleverly thought out, with plenty of detail, and above all it is great fun.
My thoughts on teaching music
I regard teaching and learning as an exciting journey. Each lesson is an adventure, solving problems and discovering the world of the cello and music.
Musical experience
Audrey started playing the cello at the age of eight with Dulce Rappaport (Mrs. Marshall) and continued her studies with Michael Evans at Dartington College of Arts and at the Royal College of Music with Anna Shuttleworth.
She gained her postgraduate Certificate in Education in Birmingham.
Currently Audrey has a teaching practice in Taunton, and combines this with freelance work. Audrey performs with Trio Con Brio around the country and gives classical concerts on board Saga cruise ships.
