I am a community artist with nine years' experience in music and movement work. As well as my role as a Creative Agent for Curious Minds, I run www.amabadelo.org, a Liverpool-based community arts organisation.

I have worked on many different community arts projects across Europe. Here are a few examples: a music and movement resource pack for Liverpool City Council; a community consultation project using photography and music in Halewood; theatre projects with children in the Czech Republic; a leadership percussion workshop for Deutsche Bank in Berlin.

I specialise in music and movement education. My work is based on my training in Kodaly (a system that promotes musicianship through singing), Dalcroze (music through movement) and Jabadao (developmental movement play).

As well as workshops with children, I give training to teachers so they can include music and movement in their teaching. To support this work, I have developed a music resource pack, funded by Youth Music.

For the Aspire Trust I have worked on a teacher training project, training teachers to include music in their teaching through practical observation and a training day in the Williamson Art Gallery. I also led music and movement workshops in several Liverpool Children’s Centres and worked with an artist on combining music and visual arts in child led workshops in a pre school setting and primary school.

As well as my training in Kodaly, Dalcroze and developmental movement play, I have a degree in Community Arts and a masters in Arts and Cultural Management. I am also a qualified seminar leader for www.familylab.de, which aims to develop personal integrity, self-esteem, and responsibility in families and schools.
