Teaching music is a wonderful profession! It brings joy and satisfaction, not only to me as a teacher, but certainly also to those who participate.
I find it inspiring to devise and create music lessons and teaching materials myself.
If the lesson or teaching materials I need do not exist, I will create them myself.
For example
- Songs and singing material
- Teaching materials for picture books
- Music games and theory quartets
- Music lessons based on a theme
- Song and instrumental accompaniments for pop songs or melodic and rhythmic accompaniments for pop songs) or arrangements for pop songs
This allows me to cater to all ages, levels and target groups, from individual students to entire groups.
For whom
I create tailor-made music education programmes for primary schools, cultural institutions, nurseries and community centres.
How I do it
Beforehand, we will have an exploratory conversation: what do you want to achieve with the music lessons or music workshops; what is your goal? And questions such as:
What is your target audience like? What do you need? Where will the lessons or workshops be held? Is there a separate room where I can teach? Is there an interactive whiteboard available? Are there already instruments available?
In my experience, ideas immediately start bubbling up during such conversations. I then develop these into creative music lessons, workshops and music material.
Examples of Tailored Music Education
- Music lessons with a theme
- Music lessons in groups 1 and 2 based on a picture book
- Music lessons in the context of a performance
- A week of celebrations for the entire school, if desired in collaboration with a music school or band.
- A school song for the entire school, including rehearsals
- Pop music projects in upper secondary education
- Thematic lessons at nurseries, based on the ‘Uk & Puk’ method
- Customised teaching materials for young people: making music on your device and performing on instruments
And the best part? The delighted reactions from pupils, teachers, educational staff and location managers.
As a nursery manager said: "Yvonne, er staan weer pareltjes tussen!"
