I am a music specialist and the music I write is original, tested on children and for the less confident teacher. My aim is to provide you with everything you need to fulfil Topic requirements and those of the National Curriculum (without having to prepare anything.) I provide Power Points/videos and give you mp3s and lyrics. Notation is sometimes given. The instrumental parts are dead easy!

I have used these resources after reading the book "Lost and found" by Oliver Jeffers.
The film is edited highlights of the way a penguin moves. I wrote the music to follow those movements. The children can add instruments to it for added effect( e.g. A guiro (scraper)

This is a nonsense song about animals having identity problems. The sheep thinks that she’s a car and the cow thinks that she’s a dog. There are parts for the untuned instruments to play along with the melody. I got the idea from the tune Beep beep Ima sheep . I asked LiDeuce Deuce, the composer if I could use the words of the title in my song . Normally I would sell my original songs but I promised LiDeuce Deuce (Tod Bryanton ) that I wouldn’t , hence this freebie.
