Carolyn Spencer works in a large primary school outside Guildford and uses a Kodály approach in her class and instrumental teaching (oboe and piano) and with her choirs.  Carolyn first came across the Kodály approach to teaching music when training as a Montessori teacher 25 years ago and has been using it in her teaching ever since. Trained by The Voices Foundation, she runs insets in schools and has just started a Music Coordinators network in Guildford schools to support teachers. She has conducted research into the importance of music in nurturing the attachment bond between mothers and babies and this underpins all her teaching as well as her termly baby and toddler workshops.
