A 30 minute dramatic cantata for 2 & 3 part treble voices, 2 soloists, narrator & piano with optional instrumental parts for violin, viola or clarinet and cello with scope to improvise guitar & percussion parts from the score. The Spirit of the Earth and the Dodo appeal to the children of the Earth to help prevent Man’s destruction of the environment. The music is outstanding and Lin’s sensitive use of language captures everyone’s imagination. There is ample scope for the production of this cantata to be combined with project work on the environment and for the inclusion of dance, costume and lighting effects.

Munchin' 'n' Crunchin'
Music, CD 'n' Drawings by Jon Wakefield Song words 'n' Science by Dave Quick
Can you cope with:
Wee beasties with attitude?
Cabbages with street cred?
Food on the move?
They'll love the songs so much they'll hardly notice they're learning KS2 science. The science is good fun too - and the songs are just right for the school concert.
The teachers' book has the music - easy piano with optional guitar chords, a CD with performances and backing tracks to all 7 songs and science notes with suggested experiments and activities. Order no. JS036 £14.90
The pupil books have the melody lines, song words and basic science notes with cartoon illustrations and diagrams by Jon Wakefield
7 songs FOOD CHAIN, CABBAGE SONG, OXYGEN, CATERPILLAR, SLUG, LADYBIRD LARVA & BLACKBIRD are all topic related and,with science notes providing a starting point, leave you firmly in control of the depth of the follow up. A novel way to teach the science requirements of KS2.
Dave has researched pupils' retention of science taught in conjunction with songs and discovered that, even after a gap of two years, the songs are remembered and the basics understood. Dave's research methods have been adopted by Ofsted.
Contact Dave to discuss this further but beware, he can wax very lyrical.

There is a CD with a performance and backing tracks sung by Lin Marsh with her daughter Tasha playing the accompaniment & backing tracks. The piece can be used in the classroom where singing the songs will lead naturally to class discussions about what is acceptable behaviour and the feelings which cause poor behaviour. There is scope to perform the whole piece with simple puppets - instructions by Caroline Astell-Burt are included - using either the backing tracks or your own pianist.

Stardance
A dance musical in 3 acts which takes three fundamental scientific concepts and does ‘unkind things’ to them. The riveting combination of wacky humour, clarity of subject and great musical numbers has an additional bonus - the dance element is a remarkably effective means of communicating a sound basic understanding of the scientific principles behind the Big Bang, the atom and the properties of some of the main elements. The performance lasts an hour and is an entertaining and imaginative way to enhance the teaching of science to top primary and secondary pupils.
