The Music Box

HMDT's programme for the under 5s is rooted in the belief that you're never too young to begin making music. The Music Box is a comprehensive programme of arts work with under 5s offering participants an opportunity to explore the foundations of music in a fun and interactive way. The Music Box spans a range of initiatives including family music making workshops, training of nursery staff and the creation of a range of resource packs. The programme uses a variety of appropriate music from many different cultural traditions and an impressive team of professional artists who introduce participants to a wide range of instruments, musical styles and repertoire. Whilst children are encouraged to explore rhythms and melodies, adults are given the skills to gain the confidence necessary to experiment in music making with their children.

Fruits from all over the world have been invited to a party by The Queen! Excited, they squeeze into a car and set off for the palace. Rana the Banana has put on her best dress, Monsieur Hercule le Poire is hoping his charms will impress. But Cassandra the Gooseberry has a prickly feeling that something’s not right...

An Invite from The Queen is a musical in a book. In CD format, the fantastic musical score, specially composed for the story, is brought to life by Griff Rhys Jones’s humorous narration and a band of over 40 musicians and singers. This gorgeous and light-hearted storybook filled with delicious fruity illustrations, introduces little ones to different cultures through music, while encouraging healthy eating and a first awareness of where our food comes from.

"We’ve listened every day to the funky, catchy tunes. The children love and it has kept us dancing and grooving every day." Maria (parent)
