Dr Clare Seymour
Clare has spent much of her professional career (over 30 years) in international settings. Part of her Doctoral research involved exploring the often hidden aspects of institutional racism. As a result she has a longstanding interest in, and passion for, promoting positive diversity awareness in others.
In addition to school music-teaching, Clare also has over 10 years' experience working as an international music examiner - an understanding and respect for diversity is so crucially important in every aspect of her practice.
In her work as a music-education consultant for the BBC she has completed several song-writing commissions for the 3-7-age-group and loves the way she can weave pedagogical integrity and diversity awareness together through enjoyable and engaging songs.
