‘We have been incredibly lucky this week to take part in the ‘Round the World’ music workshop run by Earthsong. This was enjoyed by all year groups. We went on a journey to Africa and Asia, South America and Australasia. We heard songs from all around the globe. The children were introduced to instruments such as the West African Kora, African djembe drums, the Chinese zither, the Indian Sitar, the Australian didgeridoo to name a few. They even had a go at playing some of them. Staff and children thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you Angela, Storme and Gill for delivering such a fantastic workshop!’

I booked Earthsong Music’s Round the World workshop for our KS2 classes to experience different cultures in a creative way and they delivered an unforgettable experience for our children! The range of instruments and countries explored was fantastic and each class was provided with an individualised encounter appropriate to their age group. Storme who led the workshop was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about everything. The children were in absolute awe throughout and were provided with an understanding of the pleasure of music. I cannot recommend Earthsong highly enough and will certainly be booking another workshop with them in the future!
