1 Introducing Andy Gleadhill s Music CPD Training World Class Teacher Training for Music Specialists and Generalist Teachers

2 Introduction Andy Gleadhill is an internationally acknowledged expert in Music Education and Class Instrumental Teaching and his CPD training and hands-on workshops have inspired thousands of teachers and tens of thousands of pupils in the UK and all over the world. Andy s CPD Sessions can in most cases be delivered either as short introductory sessions lasting 40 minutes to an hour each, or as hands-on intensives lasting half a day or a full day. A typical CPD day could include 2 intensive sessions or alternatively, 3 x introductory sessions in the morning followed by an intensive session in the afternoon. Teacher training sessions can also be combined with class sessions for pupils and a combination of CPD training for staff and introductory sessions for pupils can be an excellent way to launch a new Class World Music programme (African Drumming, Samba, Gamelan etc) in a school or group of schools. Andy is a talented and expert multi-percussionist with a classical training, and a source of all knowledge for world music based on real and participant observer research techniques. Andy s skill as a trainer/deliverer of professional development is without doubt and the effect of his training is long-lasting, relevant and very useable with students of all ages in music classrooms where performance is at the heart of the pedagogy. B.Music Andy has a wealth of experience to share with any organisation/ school/ college/ university that values the depth and breadth that music has to offer and I can recommend him without any reservation whatsoever.
