Case Study - St Pauls NurserySchool and Children’s CentreAt St Pauls Nursery School and Children’s Centre, senior staff were looking to build and extend theirknowledge across the staff team and were excited to learn. They did however, have some reservationsabout EYPs’ capacity and confidence to fully engage with the musicians or the ideas they may introduce.Previous experience with visiting artists had not always been good.The setting had large room sizes with 35 children or more in some cases. Individual staff reflected ontheir own experience of music:“ I was a bit hesitant as to how it would fit with professionals coming in and whether I would have to learnto read music. It’s something I don’t do. I was never encouraged at school, so I was a bit reserved aboutthat, but quite excited that people could come in and it was going to be a regular thing... and it wasgoing to keep going.” - EYP“When they came in - Roger and Eliza , it was just like that chaotic craziness, but you could really see like,the absorption and the direction they were going and it really fed through - the constant conversationsand the excitement Roger and Eliza show really makes you feel like ‘oh, I can do this’. - It can be chaotic,and things can be everywhere, but it's the learning that comes through that is so visible and I think reallyinspired everyone.” - EYPStaff went on to embrace the project:Seeing how focused children in groups of 38 can be when they are engaged in musicSeeing the different levels of engagement children can have, from gentle moving to imitatingFinding new ways to use exciting instruments, identify and investing in new ones, based on clearunderstanding of how and why to use themFinding new ways of including music in planningUtilising music as a way of working effectively with large groups “everybody suddenly finding amusical groove for 30 seconds or 5 minutes”Finding ways of modelling to silent play partners, “how to respond sensitively to children and thenbuild on it “Finding new ways of supporting children “we were actually able to help them join in or just move on”© Take Art Ltd20
