“Enthusiasm together with creativity – both backed up by meticulous planning, resource suggestions, curriculum notes and just basic sound and practical advice. Wonderful!”
– Liz Foulds, music teacher, North Yorkshire
Stepping Notes teachers’ courses are designed to help those who teach young children to develop their students’ musicianship through the voice, and through natural body movement. They concentrate on the following areas:
– using the body and the voice to help children to feel and understand rhythm, melody, phrasing and harmony;
– teaching musical literacy using singing and movement;
– choosing and using children’s instruments in such a way as to preserve and enhance their co-ordination and sense of rhythm.
“I was inspired… I can honestly say that it is the best training money can buy for practising and aspiring EY music teachers!”
– Noeline Beesley, Early Years Associate, Wiltshire Music Connect

“[Nikhil is] the best trainer I’ve experienced in this field so far… I struggle to think of people on a par.”
– Lily May, early-years music teacher, Hit the Ground Drumming & Margaret’s Music
NIKHIL DALLY
Nikhil Dally received first-class honours in music from Cambridge University, and studied composition at the Guildhall School of Music. Nikhil founded the Stepping Notes Music School in 2000. He designed the Stepping Notes curriculum himself and teaches all classes, for children aged 2 to 8.
Nikhil is increasingly in demand to lead workshops for teachers. Recent engagements include teacher-training workshops and courses for the Zoltán Kodály Pedagogical Institute (Hungary), Colourstrings International, the British Kodály Academy, the Association of British Choral Directors, the Dalcroze Society, York University music department, the Len Tyler Music School, Bracknell Forest LEA, NYMAZ, the Young Choral Academy Kuala Lumpur, and the Association of Early Childhood Educators of Singapore.
“After the first ten minutes of working with Nikhil, I thought to myself, ‘this has got to be the most practical, jam-packed, and profound ten minutes of my professional life’. The day continued in this way, as we sang, danced, played and explored possibilities over the next six hours. All music teachers, in fact, teachers of any subject need to experience this.”
– Dominic Harlan, Director of Music, London
