“I couldn't recommend Anna and her team at Stretto Music more highly.  Lessons are delivered with energy and enthusiasm which creates fascinating and purposeful learning opportunities for the children.  The children really enjoy their lessons with Stretto and this is also evident with the progress they make.  Planning is transparent and is shared with the school.  Clear progression of knowledge is evident in planning and within lessons and staff encourage children to learn and use the correct terminology.  

Anna and Claire support the continual improvement of the Stretto Music Teachers through regular drop-ins and feedback - which is also shared with a member of the Senior Leadership Team.  This helps us with maintaining excellent communication which helps with continuity for the children.”

“We always love working with Stretto Music - the teachers ensure that the children really enjoy their lessons while imparting skills that are well-pitched to the ability and age of the children. Our Year 2 children, for example, had a lovely afternoon putting music to a story and learning about pitch and tone. They particularly liked playing the instruments in different ways to suit the characters. ”

“Stretto Music educators are excellent at engaging the children from both KS1 and KS2. Our pupils look forward to their music lessons each week and show excellent attitudes to learning during the sessions. The musicians' passion and enthusiasm for teaching and learning in their subject are evident in each session and so is their knowledge and understanding of the music curriculum. Having the detailed planning, signposted to the National Curriculum objectives in music, sent to us each term gives us the confidence that the children are taught in a consistent and thorough manner in line with the NC requirements. The assessment summaries give us a clear picture of our pupils' development and areas which require more work. Anna communicates the key information in a prompt and accessible way, and is always there to answer questions or follow up with additional information. Thank you for all your hard work this year and we look forward to working with Stretto Music even more closely next school year.”
