Andrea founded The Music Train in 1995, and the organisation soon grew to cater for 1000 children a week, operating at that size for many years.

As well as being fun, The Music Train classes are highly educational. Andrea has a Masters Degree specifically in Early Years Music Education and Leadership as well as a PGCE in Kodaly based Early Childhood Music which means our programme is based on solid founations.

In 2024 we were selected to become an official Partner of Hertfordshire County Music Service, providing consultancy and training for their new Early Years Music programme. Andrea has also in the past, trained each of the Music Train teachers and written the current teaching programme.

Andrea is passionate that every child should be given the opportunity to develop their innate musicality to its fullest potential and a number of her pupils, taught over the past thirty years, have gone on to perform in West End shows and start careers in music. Most recently we have trained one of our early pupils to deliver EY music herself as a County Music Teacher.

Parents have said and written many lovely things about our classes over the years but this little quote sums it up, "She makes the class so much fun, and without any effort my boys have gained fantastic music ability which is helping them in so many ways."
