School Workshops Educational Performance Persephone brings an interactive comedy performance to schools.
This introduces children to brass instruments and to classical
and traditional music, and builds confidence when they participate;
She has often been asked by children, and adults, if they could try and play her trumpet. So she brings several trumpets for the children to try, including a small one. Also two French horns and a trombone which is only playable by tall children.
Children’s Parties Two Hour Party This can be two ¾ hour entertainments separated by half an hour for tea which also gives Persephone time to change. Music is provided by a quality sound system.
If desired she can play Happy Birthday on trumpet when the birthday cake is cut.
The entertainments can be two 20 minute sets with Freddy, the penguin, who plays a trumpet. He also helps Persephone play Grand March from Aida on a teapot. The party child may like to dress up in a cabaret clothes and help Freddy. This can be followed by 20 minutes of games, such as Flap the Kipper, Pin the Tail on the Pig and others.
As Persephone is often asked by children, and adults, to have a blow of her trumpet she usually brings a few trumpets along plus a collection of washed mouthpieces, for the children to try out. They enjoy dancing round, making plenty of noise with all the instruments while Persephone plays trumpet to a backing track of lively tunes such as La Bamba.
