Most of my week is spent working for Gloucestershire Music where I have several roles.  The balance of which varies during the course of the year

My first role with Gloucestershire Music was as a Woodwind peripatetic teacher.  Travelling between many school to teach saxophone, flute and clarinet to small groups of pupils.  I continue with this for a minimum of one day a week.

 Wider opportunities is a national, government funded scheme giving the chance for KS2 children to learn an instrument in curriculum time as a whole class.  I was part of the pilot scheme in Gloucestershire, attaching myself to the percussion department.  I have since edited the percussion scheme of work for WO and continue to team teach with them.

 A large part of my 9 years working for Gloucestershire Music has been spent delivering classroom lessons.  In some cases being based in a school for 12 months, teaching National Curriculum lessons to the whole school (KS1 +2).  Where I also covered the woodwind tuition this lead to my being seen by the children as ‘the music lady’. 

From time to time staff want a ‘boost’ in a particular areas—such as singing or working with tuned percussion.  I will then go into school for a single, or short run of lessons.  This has two benefits.  A new face and fresh approach for the children and some informal staff training for the school staff.
