Folk Song – Serious Fun A workshop exploring how traditional songs (both familiar and unfamiliar) can be used in the classroom, projects, and performance. Content will include fun and easy examples of vocal warm ups; “Instant Results” songs that get people singing in harmony and rounds, very quickly; songs from the British Isles; and folk songs from around the world. Folk song is a way of making children aware of their history, the history and cultures of others, and the role song can play in communities -- the joy people can get from making music together in everyday surroundings. The day will end with an informal jam session for anyone who would like to play, sing or just listen. Led by David Oliver

He leads workshops in many aspects of folk music, song and dance, and provides in-service training, CPD, advice, information and resources for teachers.
