Hit me with your rhythm stick...

Paul Fisher latest 'Learning Through Music' video gets us into the rhythmic groove like an early morning Ian Dury and the Blockheads......

Paul Fisher
  Paul Fisher's videos have become a huge hit with young children and their families

Paul Fisher gets us all in the rhythmic groove with his latest 'Learning Through Music' video aimed at primary school children and their families...

This time he makes it brilliant fun with the best selection of hats outside Ladies Day at Ascot, a permed impersonation of Brian May from the rock group Queen and so much enthusiasm and passion that it should be bottled and sold over counter at Boots.

All that and your kids can hit, smack and thump old boxes, paint and biscuit tins in time to the great Freddie Mercury at his best...
