Instrument Stories Project
About the Project
The Instrument Stories are a sequence of stories with music by Emma Johnson and illustrations by Rebecca Price, designed to introduce children to the instruments of the orchestra and to the magic of music.
Emma and her band of musicians perform the stories, enabling children to encounter instruments such as the bassoon, French horn and oboe, often for the first time. We hear how Finn plays his cello to make his grandad feel better, Sophie saves the day at the school prom with her violin, and Jamal's loud trumpet playing annoys the neighbours but saves his grandmother's life! Music somehow always makes things better.
In these workshops Emma and her musicians also engage the children in musical games and exercises which are aimed at Key Stage 1 and 2 attainment levels - ideal for years 3 and 4.
We would love to come to your school!
Are you a teacher in a primary school? Do you work in a venue that organises family concerts?
We would love to work with you and put on one of our workshops!
Please get in touch and we will get back to you with more details. We are open to any enquiries, and we are happy to travel all over the UK!
