The Billy Goats Gruff: Cello Stories from Beanstalk Arts
Listen now
Description
This week we're going to be trying to cross the bridge to the green green grass, watching out for trolls along the way!  You might find it helpful to find somethings around the house to make a little 'tip tap' sound, a middle sized 'clip clop' sound and a great big loud 'stamp stomp' sound to help join in with the story today, or of course you can use body percussion too! Our songs this week owe a great deal of thanks to the wonderful Steve Grocott, a friend,  colleague musician and fellow Early years practitioner! The troll/goats crossing song is my own slightly misremembered version of his Billy Goats Gruff songs, and if you're looking for HOURS of musical delight, do have a listen and browse at his bandcamp page with his wonderful 'Bright Sparks' collections of songs at https://stevegrocott.bandcamp.com If you're enjoying this podcast, do remember you can find out all about our real life classes at www.beanstalkarts.co.uk and we have an online shop full of instruments, and ukulele classes for kids and grownups, both on and offline.  Thanks for listening - I'd be so grateful if you can share this podcast with your friends!
