Join us for a fun packed day of music and creativity! Age 7 - 12

10am - 3pm

The day will begin with lively rhythmic clapping, body beats and action songs, before discovering a traditional tale which becomes the main focus of the day!

The children will try out a range of instruments to discover the variety of sounds available and how these can be manipulated through beat, rhythm and dynamics. All of the children will be encouraged to compose, play and perform to tell the story through song, sounds and music.

Throughout the afternoon the children will explore model creation to design a chosen character from the story. We will use model wire and colourful superlight air dry clay to create a moveable figure from the story.

The day concludes with a vibrant retelling of the story within the supportive environment of the workshop, using the musical compositions and clay models. Children will be both audience members and performers.

The workshop is led by Abi James, a qualified teacher and Arts Award Advisor and Kevin James, a professional musician and music teacher. Both teach music and art extensively to children and adults in the local area, whilst also running choirs, ukulele groups and craft workshops.

Packed lunch required.
