Workshop DayThis is a show followed by workshops throughout the school day. Following a performance of one of Travelling by Tuba’s award-winning shows, the day is then divided into workshop sessions. Each workshop can cater for up to 45 children and is tailored to suit all ages from Nursery up to Keystage 3. The duration of each session can vary from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the school’s requirements. Workshop Days are flexible and cater for each school’s individual demands. Themes for the workshops include: Brazilian Samba: Using a Brazilian Surdo Drum and specially learnt rhythms with hand percussion. Mexican Salsa: An infectious Latin American dance rhythm. Hand Chimes: Play an array of tunes with Suzuki Tone Chimes (Similar to Hand Bells). New Orleans Jazz: Sousaphone and hand percussion in a swingin’ style. Spanish Tango: Feel the laid-back, hypnotic Spanish beat. Workshop Days are a chance for as many children as possible to experience music making. Every child plays an instrument and sees how a piece of music is rehearsed and put together. Each session culminates in a performance, which includes all the children plus Stewart and Chris.Workshop Days are a real hands-on musical experience. Suggested timetable for a Workshop Day: 9.15 Performance to the whole school (About 65 minutes long.) This timetable fits many schools, but we do realise not all. This is flexible – please get in touch with any questions about a Workshop Day in your school. |

Performance DayThis is a show, followed by workshops and a special after school or evening performance for parents and friends. See a Mexican Salsa performance at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkQwbUDMqPk In a Performance Day, Travelling by Tuba are resident in one school for a whole day. The day culminates in a 30-60 minute performance by large groups of children with Chris and Stewart. Each group performs a different piece of music learnt during the day in a concert for parents, grandparents and friends. Following a performance of one of Travelling by Tuba’s three award-winning shows, the day is divided into workshop sessions. Each workshop creates a different piece of music for performance by the children either directly after school or in the evening - whichever best suits the school. Themes for the workshops include: New Mexican Salsa: An infectious Latin American dance rhythm. In addition, many schools like to learn a song from Travelling by Tuba’s children’s operetta “The Tuba Has Landed”. A rehearsal CD and music are sent out in advance and the song is rehearsed with Tuba and Piano on the day. School ensembles can also take a spot in the concert and we will always do our best to meet any themed requests. Special Christmas performances are also possible.
