Andy's Music Programme for Children

Andy's Music Programme for Children is an interactive program for youngsters aged from approximately 5 to12 years old.


What happens?

Beginning with early morning musical exercises, the programme progresses with an imaginary ride on a train that will seemingly pass through many towns, providing lots of inspiration for more activities and songs. Eventually, arriving at an imaginary farm, there will be a game involving guessing the animal sounds plus fun in trying to imitate them. Afterwards, the children will meet Paul, the grizzly bear (not real of course!), who is looking for a wife and will be encouraged to offer him their support by performing a Polish dance. Finally, there will be a big party with a sing-a-long and guessing games.
Hopefully stimulated by their enjoyment of the programme, the children will be eager to display their confidence, talent and expertise by using a microphone to tell a joke or sing. The Christmas programme will have special presentations including special songs of the season. It is respectfully suggested that organizers of the events should, if possible, provides prizes to reward the children for their interactive involvement.
