Melody Monkey course
Created in 2001, Melody Monkey's Marvellous Music Box is a highly successful early years resource. The portable musical box containing instruments, animal puppets, games, songs, stories and CDs, offers a wide range of activities as part of music making sessions for young people.
Included in the Box, is a Songbook crammed full of songs and stories for young people to listen to and sing. The resource has been designed for practitioners and carers with little or no musical experience and is used by early years workers, childminders and other professionals working with the under 5s, throughout the UK.
This half-day course has been set up to give music deliverers the chance to find out how to use the full potential of the resource. The course will be running on the 7th February and 9th May from 10am - 2pm. It will be taking place at the National Centre for Early Music in York and hosted by Sue Hollingworth. Sue is a co-creator of the Box and also a Senior Advisory Teacher for the Voices Foundation and part-time Music Advisor to North Lincolnshire.
The course will focus on learning song repertoire, as well as using the puppets and other props in a musical session. The day will also look at what music can do for the development of the whole child, the use of instruments in music sessions, how to improvise songs for any situation and more. The half-day course costs £60 per person (including lunch) plus VAT. All participants will receive a 20% discount on the Melody Monkey Marvellous Music Box if ordered on the day. The resource normally costs £185 plus VAT.
