Olympics song 'Kisle 2012 in the 4 5' written 22/06/12

Summer workshop with the Paulerspury Players

I have a 5 day summer workshop booked with the Paulerspury Players taking place 13th-17th August!

Young people can come along for a week of fun and friendship, writing their own lyrics - these can be sang, rapped or just simply spoken.
They will also be preparing dance moves to songs. We are collaborating with a dance tutor to use street dance and other choreography to depict the theme chosen.

On the last day there will be a performance showcasing what they've been up to in the week. Friends and family are welcome to come along and watch!

The week will be fairly flexible where the young people will have a lot of control over which theme they'd like and how they'd like the choreography to look, with us there to help and support them where needed.

Come along and watch on 17th August to see all their hard work!

Olympics workshop booked

Lots of exciting news from AA HQ!

Olympics workshop booked in for June at a local C of E Primary school...
The children will be exploring some or all of the Olympic and Paralympic Values of: determination, courage, equality, inspiration, respect, friendship and excellence.

They will be writing a motivational song around these ideals, each group will work on a value for their own verse and come together as a class to decide on which value to use for the chorus.

The children will also be able to take ideas from the day to their sports day, and will have some motivations from the workshop to think about when going into their own races.

Next news bit soon! x

Paulerspury Players panto 2012 - Snow White

Tonight is the opening night of 'Snow White'! Showing each evening 15th-18th February with a Saturday afternoon matinee always very popular with the children.
This classic story sees the beautiful Snow White being betrayed by her wicked stepmother, some witty lines from the magic mirror and a laboratory scene with a crackpot magician...
The dame, flamboyant as ever has an unfortunate run in with a microwave.. and last but not least....
The seven dwarves have characteristically lovable parts and the audience have a job to wake 'Dozy' as he keeps falling asleep throughout...!
You're in for a treat! Come down to Paulerspury Village Hall and join in the fun!

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hope it is good to you all. As of 1st January 2012 I have increased my teaching rates slightly. They are now at £26 per hour. Hope you are all well and look forward to seeing you for 2012 lessons :-)
