The Frog Princess: Beanstalk Arts Cello Stories
Listen now
Description
Reena the Princess just doesn't like being a princess, there's far too much sitting still, being quiet and keeping clean, and her mum and dad just can't understand why she'd prefer life as a frog, hopping around in the garden! It turns out, with a bit of magic help from her fairy God-Boris-the-Bird, she finds a way to try the amphibious life-style, and - boy - it's just as good as she thought!  But...will she find a way to live happily and happily ever after, and will her mum and dad find a way to accept that their daughter loves life as a frog? (Spoiler alert - YEP, phew!) This week's story is from Becky with some help from her cello and ukulele, recorded originally in my spare room in the winter lockdown for our wonderful Beanstalk Arts supporters on Patreon, it's now free for anyone to listen too. Songs include our 'little green frog' song, 'everyone is playing along with me', 'little birds' and 'dig in the garden', we have 30 minutes of music, dancing and song (and do remember to check out past episodes if you enjoyed this one!). Beanstalk Arts is a SE London based organisation, we have real life cello stories classes starting back from the 16th August 2021, plus lots of ukulele classes for grown ups and children alike, and you can find out more and book in at our website at www.beanstalkarts.co.uk You can stream our music on Spotify by searching for 'Becky, Boris and the Beats'. This is a free podcast for all, and there will be a new story landing every Wednesday over the summer holidays, but if you're really enjoying it, you can support us by buying Becky a virtual coffee at https://ko-fi.com/beanstalkarts or picking up a musical instrument bag in our online shop, and we hope to be launching season 2 in the Autumn!

This week we're adventuring again into the deep dark woods, this time with Red Riding Hood (and a little help from my cello, Boris the Bird and my ukulele!).  I'm super grateful this week to have borrowed (with permission) some songs from some fabulous fellow musicians! The wonderful 'Stomping...
