Music covers everything in the curriculum and creates a joyful atmosphere in the school environment.

Singing, dancing, movement, circle games, percussion,listening to all genres of music.    

 

For older children, BRINGING THE STORIES ALIVE sessions bring excitement and love of stories and storytelling into a school! These sessions are available all year long, but every year during the first week of February, The Music Experience also takes part in National Storytelling Week, with special interactive Musical Storytelling   for children and their teachers,  and is available for anyone else who wants to take part!

 

Musical Storytelling sessions with Pippa Reid are an enjoyable and exciting way for teachers and their classes to explore rhythm, language, expression, emotions and patterns in stories, alongside Classical and World music.

 

Within the school curriculum, participating in these sessions helps children with their vocabulary, memory, social skills and concentration.

 

Working together allows teachers to have fun with the children while observing them learn. Sometimes within a story there is a situation that a child may relate to but has not yet found the language to describe, or they may have been too shy to talk about.

 

The sessions are interactive with movement and props and encouraging ideas from the children themselves. Ideas cover all the senses and with the music create a really holistic experience for all.

 

Sessions last 45 minutes and an ideas booklets are provided so that you may continue with the storytelling in future classes.

 

This is an incredibly valuable way of working.

I have learned a huge amount. I loved the rip-stop storymaking!

Thank you so much for your visit. The Nursery and Reception boys really enjoyed the sessions and got so much out of them. …one little boy who is usually quite shy said all the stories were his favourite! The staff enjoyed them too, especially the one about the missing hat set to Mozart!

It was very successful and atmospheric.

Staff would like to continue with.. the ideas.

The children were interested…..and retold some of the stories at the end of the day.

The stories were all fun and it was lovely to watch them so enjoying the experience and joining in. Their teacher enjoyed herself too!
