I have a BA in Music Education, and I have been playing the violin for 30 years. I have been teaching music for over 20 years, and I love to give children the chance to explore music by broadening their knowledge and understanding, as well as by making music themselves.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
