Welcome! I'm Audrey Podmore, music teacher, composer and facilitator. I launched this site, in September 2002 to support all kinds of creative and inclusive music-making.
Here you will find a very unusual mixture of PDF Downloads, as well as an assortment of other free and paid resources, all geared to supporting creativity and inclusion.
I have so much that I want to share with you that it's difficult to keep track of it all! You can read a little about what's available, below, or explore the Sitemap.Please do contact me with any comments, ideas or questions you may have.
I look forward to sharing with you, soon!
