How we can bring stories to life with music to provide a multi-sensory and engaging experience for the early years?

Using music, song and movement to bring stories to life provides a greater sensory experience for early years children, as well as enabling greater communication and language development. This workshop will explore the benefits of this kind of approach, how it engages children and its impact.

This workshop will be delivered by Kirsty Malone. Kirsty is a theatre practitioner, working all over Scotland as a singer, actor and outreach facilitator. She has taught musical theatre and led early years sessions for a number of years and has recently qualified as an early years practitioner, specialising in outdoor learning. You can find out more about Kirsty at @kirsty_malone on Twitter or Instagram.
