The Fisher king catches kids on the musical hook

If you want to entice your children to enjoy making music together — then have a look at how Paul Fisher does it...

Fisher
  Paul Fisher is the colourful charismatic presenter...

Professional musician and Amersham MD Paul Fisher has been making sure that budding musicians of all ages have not missed out on the joys of music making during the Coronavirus lockdown.

'Learning Through Music' is aimed at primary school children and is a fun packed 8 minutes of colourful music making — with Paul as the coolest dude presenter and performer!!!

Smack bang and wallop

No wonder the man who has played with the likes of Madness enjoys himself — and within minutes you can be guaranteed that children will be asking of packs of dry pasta, empty plastic bottles and anything to hot, smack and wallop to play along!

All this and in the first episode they learn all about Cuban music...

So get your young 'uns sat in front of your television, search through the cupboards in your kitchen — and wait for your neighbours to wonder what the noise and laughter is all about!!4BR
