Music of the World

An exhilarating experience

Discover the joy of music from around the world.

How much fun can three musicians have at your school? Discover the answer with Mark, Teresa, and Ben as they tour the music of Ireland, America, Italy, Scotland and Eastern Europe. Students will learn about the musical traditions of these regions and their people and have the chance to reflect on them.

Dance, clap, sing, laugh and play along with these charismatic musicians – three friends united by their love of music, and who are excited to bring it to your school. From an exhilarating Celtic-style jam session to vibrant rhythms and melodies, Music of the World is a joyous experience that will have everyone joining in!
