MUSICSCOOL Live Music Workshops offer school children in Foundation Stage and Years 1-6...

the opportunity to interact with a professional musician - plenty of audience participation!

polished performance presentations featuring clarinet, saxophone, flute and recorder

a wide range of repertoire (classical/jazz/popular/tv themes - from Thomas the Tank Engine to JLS!) with pre-recorded accompaniments to give a real concert atmosphere

 

links with the National Curriculum - performing, composing, listening 

percussion, voice and movement

activities to demonstrate the musical elements:

dynamics (quiet/loud/silence)

tempo (fast/slow)

pitch (high/low)

timbre (exploring sounds)

texture (putting sounds together)

structure (recognising how a piece of music is ‘built’)

duration (feeling the beat and creating rhythm patterns)

Each workshop offers ...

a 'one-off' or a series of sessions

half or full day sessions

activity cards or worksheets for follow up work

themed workshops upon request*

*Teachers, please do ask if you would like the sessions to focus on a particular topic or theme. It’s often fun to work towards a ‘final’ performance, possibly to the rest of the school at the end of the day!  Examples of possible themes include:

The Circus

Lost in Space

Places to Go

Animals

Fairy Tales

Japanese Music

Weather/Seasons

The Rainforest

The Seaside

Maths and Music

Communication

Celebrations

Exploring Voices

Composing TV Themes
 

Sessions may be split between 2 or more classes/year groups upon request.  I am also happy to perform to the whole school in assembly if that suits your particular requirements.
