New ways to teach and entertain children!
With the advanced growth in technology, it's important to keep your child's imagination active and to enhance their creative abilities with innovative new learning tools. I have found a unique way to help you make learning easy and fun with your children, that doesn't involve using a screen!
Key Elements and Values
When I began producing Music Audio Stories, my approach was to create them with an energy and enjoyment that would draw children into the story. I included key learning elements and positive values naturally and this increased with the success of my Storytime.
All of my stories have different themes and values. Whilst listening to my music audiobooks children learn about animals and insects, colours, numbers, flowers, magic and so much more. I have stories about the Solar System, and New York City, as well as entertaining stories to inspire kindness and cooperation. My music audiobooks also introduce a variety of music genres, styles, and instruments.
School Use and Homeschooling
My audiobooks are great for school use and homeschooling. Music Audio Stories provide an entertaining tool for parents and teachers to not only enhance their child's listening abilities, but also stimulate their productive senses, and imagination, and improve visualization skills. My stories complement Key Stage 1 and areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage.
Create a fun exercise where children listen to a story, and then draw a scene, character, or something that they heard in the story. I started to do this as part of my Storytime when I visited schools and nurseries and it's a great way to combine listening with visual and art skills. Here are some drawings I collected...
Get Kids Involved
Over the years, I have collected hundreds of children’s drawings from schools, nurseries and libraries I have visited. Now your children, and class, can also get involved. Visit the Get Involved page to download my freebies and find out how you can create your own Storytime, with your little ones at home, or with children in a group setting.
Post drawings using #MusicAudioStories online and their artwork will be part of the Music Audio Stories creative world. They may even see their drawing on my art wall on a YouTube video!
To see more drawings from nurseries, schools and community events visit the Facebook Gallery.
Instil positive messages to your children helping them to build confidence and fulfill their dreams with my Music Audio Stories!
