A FUN WAY TO EXPLORE THE WORLD OF MUSIC

With most children currently being schooled at home, Opera North’s Little School of Music offers a series of free interactive ‘pick and mix’ videos designed to encourage families to explore the world of music together.

Aimed at primary aged children, the programme takes youngsters on a journey of discovery through a range of activities including games, quizzes and music-making using parts of the body or items lying around the house. The resources have been created using the expertise of the tutors involved in the Company’s award-wining In Harmony project which has been running for over seven years in primary schools across Leeds. While the videos do include a learning element, the emphasis is on enjoying a break from traditional lessons, with families being encouraged to share their creations on social media afterwards. The resources will also be offered to schools free of charge.
