Paddington Bear's First Concert & Video Workshops

Harmony’s Music Club has produced a unique interactive concert performance of Paddington Bear’s First Concert together with a music-video workshop package for primary schools. Delivered by professional pianist and music educator Caroline Page and professional narrator Liz Franklin-Kitchen, it offers children an exciting opportunity to learn, enjoy and participate in a wide range of musical experiences via home -learning or in the classroom!

During the video workshops the children will: use their critical thinking skills while exploring and experimenting with different sounds and pitches before selecting their preferences to create their concert instruments; expressively use their voices and instruments when improvising sound effects for a short-story; create artwork to illustrate the video performance; and learn to sing Paddington Bear’s theme song, practicing listening and recall skills with the option of audio recording themselves to create a virtual choir for the video performance.

On the concert day your bespoke video performance, illustrated by the children and including any choir, will be privately available on YouTube. The children can join in with the performance using their instruments and/ or by singing along, or they can just enjoy being part of a ‘live’ musical experience.

This package has grown from a passionate belief in the power of music, especially for children when they are socially distanced. For more information or to register for a virtual visit from Paddington Bear go to www.harmonysmusicclub.com/paddington.
