In a typical session:
I demonstrate and discuss with the children my Renaissance-style
recorders, viols, lute, pipe and tabor.
I teach all the children an easy song, perhaps accompanied by recorders or classroom percussion instruments.
Children who play the recorder or any other instrument have a chance to perform with me. (Music can be sent in advance.)
I dress up in Elizabethan costume talking about materials, colours, and styles as I do it.
Finally, I teach simple Tudor dances. In large schools with several classes in a year the dance sessions continue throughout the day with all classes coming together at the end to demonstrate the dances they have learned.
