Key Stage 2 Tudor History School & Museum
sessions
- A Choice of whole or half-day sessions.
- I bring a
phenomenally large collection of replica Tudor instruments for everyone
to see, hear, and in many cases hold and play.
- Each session is music and dance based, and also allows me to teach about the life &
times, with details of how being gentry/common (rich/poor) would affect
so many aspects of your life.
I have worked such sessions in very many schools, and before many
audiences - parents, governors, local nobility, mayors; and even in the
Great Hall at Longleat.
- Whole day Session: CONCERT in a DAY: From April 2011 I have a new
low-preparation day session where the children learn material for a 45
minute presentation to parents at the end of the day, while learning
context and background information: truly a concert in a day! Please see below the picture for Half day sessions
Everyone is involved in playing, singing, dancing, and performing the
presentation before an audience, all the time listening and learning.
If you've worked with me before, please note that this now replaces the
Henry VIII Masque, which I am resting this year.
"Richard, you teach quite subversively! They think they're just
enjoying a good day, and don't realise how much they're actually
learning." - Deputy Head teacher, Northants middle school.
- Half day session: hands-on playing, plus dancing and
singing during a guided tour of the Tudor period, but not leading to a
performance.
- In Museums and on heritage sites my Tudor session
varies from one hour to a whole day, depending on site and requirements.
Even a short one-hour session is still participation-centered.
- Resource CD for preparation & follow-up -
songs, words, scripts, background information, sound clips - everything
you need!
