  • Live acoustic folk music

  • Singing and call-and-response

  • Dancing and movement

  • Storytelling

  • Traditional and original children's songs

  • Simple instruments and musical participation

  • Interactive musical games

  • Plenty of opportunities for children and grown-ups to join in
