The Musical Mystery Tour
For children and family audiences
A lively journey through musical history from primitive times to the Tudors and Stuarts
- duration: 55 minutes ‘The children sat transfixed’
Times Educational Supplement
With costumes, sketches, dance, play-acting, comedy and a riot of period instruments from stones and bones to hurdygurdy, fiddle, viol, recorder, lute, harp and crumhorn, this show is that rare combination - both educational and highly entertaining.
Based on Lucie and Roddy Skeaping’s award-winning publication Let’s Make Tudor Music (for the National Curriculum Key Stage Two), children and family audiences join Henry VIII’s band, learn a Tudor love song, a courtly dance and how to make an instrument. Along the way they hear ‘caveman music’, help fight a dragon and find out why Roddy put his violin in the washing machine! Visits to over 50 schools, art centres and festivals every year.
