Customers who have hired me as consultant

The assignments follow in chronological order with the latest last.

Västerås Waldorfschool
2017-04-18 

Here comme a few voices from the evaluation after four hours of morning classes (according to the wishes of the College).

Classes 1-9, music classes as well as vocals/dances, introduction of the flute playing in different voices in class 5 and something about high school choir classes, classes 6-9:

– Barbro gives her extensive experience and profound knowledge so that you will be happy, inspired and ready to get started with the students

– Knowledgeable, fun, sharp, experienced, alert, comprehensive.

– Genuine experience, has everything firmly rooted in body and soul, seeking challenges!

– Inspiring, happy, interesting.

– Enthusiastic, competent, musical, happy

– Do you know that something is missing and needs a boost in your teaching? - Hire Barbro!

On the question: How was the study as a whole, seven out of eleven answered excellent, four very good and everyone could recommend me as music consultant!

I myself think that a full day's study would be the best. It would provide enough room for each year course and response to the participants' spontaneous initiative about various teaching moments and questions.

Näktergalningarna Choir
2017-03-25 

Many thanks, Barbro for your great commitment to the Earth Hour project at Skarpnäck! You attended months before and helped in the alto part during the rehersals, which was wonderful. And suddenly you went to the piano and accompanied. What a resource for a choir leader who, then can concentrate on listening, on assistance in different parts and on conducting. Again, thank you so much and welcome back!

Teaching a group of Chinese who want to become Waldorf teachers.

Short evaluation of the training days
All students felt that the implementation of the education as a whole was excellent or very good.
An overall wish was that there was more time for learning.
Almost everyone could recommend me as a music consultant and there were already two concrete proposals for institutions in China.

The Chinese students had very different backgrounds and they spent a total of eleven weeks in Sweden to become "Waldorflärare" - an almost "mission impossible". But little is always better than nothing. The students were motivated, ambitious and sympathetic. It is worth noting that there are already around thirty-seven waldorf schools in China.

A selection of reviews about me from the students:

 – You are very serious and I can feel your teaching attitude and appreciate it, and you make it with fun.  

 – I like your enthusiasm and energy, professional attitude.  

– Love, kindness and freedom – you touched my heart deeply. Thanks!

To lead 120 wedding guests in singing and dancing
2017-07-08 

At the beginning of the summer, I was asked if I could lead a song of ninety minutes at a wedding with one hundred and twenty-two guests. It was something new and exciting. I agreed with the bridesmaid about the wishes of songs, supplemented with my own suggestions and a closing dance.

Imagine singing with a lovely crowd enthusiasts. The summer songs became "qualitative jewelry" and it all ended with Leonard Cohens Halleluja, a bride and groom favorite, and then singing and dancing on a giant lawn. What a wonderful experience!

Once again, I was asked to teach future Waldorf teachers from China in music. It was an exciting and demanding challenge. I had unforgettable moments of joy and hope for the future of the Waldorf Schools!

The finest one can be found – in the evaluations from the students:
– You put love and warmth into Music, make Music flow at everyone´s heart.
– I really admire the professional & serious attitude of you!
– You connect theory and teaching practice very well, clear and serious and manageable.

Workshop at Kristofferskoan

April 2019

April 29, 2019 I was asked by Hanna Sleumer, the music teacher coming to give a workshop in singing and dancing with the theme folk and world music for classes 7-9. Of course I wanted. Some of the young people turned out to have had music with me  a few years earlier. It was a dear reunion. Two intensive hours with dances and some songs in voices we practiced. 

On May 14th, one of the class leaders wrote: Thank you for your commitment to our theme day for the students in year 7-9. It was so appreciated by the students.

Hanna Sleumer, music teacher: It was great yesterday. Thanks again. The students were very happy.

Teaching at the Waldorf Teacher College

October 2018 

At the end of 2018, I was asked to attend the spring term and teach the subject students at WLH, the Waldorf Teacher College.

It was a total of eight occasions in February and May, about the Waldorf school's annual monthly festivals and traditions, as well as a lot of song and "useful" from my many years of experience as a music teacher. A booklet with suggestions for a repertoire I compiled on request for the course.

The evaluations were overwhelmingly positive. Everyone could recommend me as a music consultant! Here are some voices from the subject teachers:·

• Barbro is someone who leaves no one in the room unmoved. She expects a high quality and pulls it out of us.
• You are a very experienced and patient music teacher, with a nice attitude to students with different background and knowledge level.
• You feel safe when they are in your class and you give good motivation.
•  Barbro's personality is calm and sparkling. She creates a safe atmosphere in the group! Nothing gets embarrassing.    
• Knowledgeable, enthusiastic, kind.

A happy and enthusiastic teacher with a passionate relationship with the music.
