SchoolsKeith specialises in highly interactive stories and songs for children, inviting their participation, stretching their imaginations and stimulating creativity, with every tale and tune.
His repertoire is such that he seems to have songs and stories for every imaginable topic [as well as many that you won’t have imagined yet!] All of his songs, and many of his stories, are accompanied by Keith’s unique ‘Picture Guitar’ [and occasionally Didgeridoo] playing ** photo of picture guitar** He is, deservedly, best-known for his ‘Funny’ songs and stories. However, he always strikes a very careful balance between light-hearted and more serious subject matter. Keith ends his school/workshop sessions with a short ‘Questions from the floor’ spot, allowing children [and teachers and other adults] to ask questions about the stories and songs they’ve just heard/been a part of. Keith read Psychology & Education at Warwick University His special field was Primary & Preschool Education He was Creative Consultant for Ragdoll TV [The Tellytubbies/Night Garden people] School visits include [but aren’t limited to] A short [Whole School] ‘Assembly Show’ A ‘Half Day’ visit/workshop A ‘Full Day’ visit/workshop A ‘Full Week’ visit/workshop Two or more ‘Half Day’ visits/workshops at several neighbouring/nearby schools and/or any combination of the above |
