Stories and songs from around the world.

Stories and songs from around the World is a workshop suitable for all ages. This workshop originally was developed as part of the Indian Music days as story gives another element to that culture which is accessible to children. It gives character, place and context to the new culture being introduced. It also is a great hook for children and allows for lots of conversation, questions and recall.

The workshop can begin with the story and then elements of it are used as an impulse towards sound,music and song; in other words music is used to illustrate and add mood to the story and acts as a mental score for the children.

So far countries and continents and places covered have been India, Pakistan, Honduras, Brazil, Rain Forest,North America, Africa.
If aplace is suggested I will do my best ro research stories from that place or pass you on to someone who can help.
From Fables to folk tales and creation myths, stories and the telling of them are a great window into other cultures and help us to see the world through our imagination"
They are a wonderful way to embrace other cultures and  help develop a deeper understanding and awareness of the world in a way that children enjoy!
