Provides stimulating and fun 'hands on' music making and simple instrument making workshops. With a supporting cast of over 40 musical instruments from many cultures and historical periods, the workshops are suitable for any age [from 4 to 90] and any musical ability.
Learning through play, the workshops can assist in the development of confidence, self-esteem, concentration, team-building and creative skills, such as hand-eye coordination, aural skills and physical craft making. And of course, they're great fun.
Each session begins with a 45 minute demonstration of the available instruments and then develops into the chosen workshop scenario. The tutor [Tony Westran] is able to offer a degree of flexibility, customising the session to suit your requirements. Here are a few ideas, but do contact Tony if you're looking for something a bit 'different'.
- Simple musical instrument making using hygienic recycled waste or inexpensive materials.
- Music making for all - from writing a new tune to re-mastering an old one
- Cross curricular - The instruments can all be used as props to support different subjects in the National Curriculum at all Keystages, such as Music, History, Science, Geography, Design & Technology, RE, ICT and Maths
- Purely Historical - the Tutor will attend in authentically reproduced historical clothing of the chosen period and be able to make a good account of himself!
The workshops are ideal for Schools, Festivals, Inset training, Family & Community groups, Museums, Colleges & other educational establishments, Special interest groups, Corporate team building, Gifted & Talented, Living History groups etc.
