Bonus Episode 1
While we’re busy creating the next series of Armchair Adventures, we thought we’d release some bonus episodes for you to enjoy over the summer!
First up, we’re rewinding back to the start, to Linda’s Treetop Adventure in episode 1. If you remember, while exploring the world from up high, we meet a beautiful bird. This was represented by the flute and in this bonus episode we meet the wonderful musician behind it – Amina!
“The music in Armchair Adventures is so important. It really helps set your imagination free!”
You’ll learn how Amina became a professional musician, how she made the music to represent the bird and some top tips for any young musicians out there!
Bonus Episode 2
For this episode, we’ve revisited Jean’s Artistic Adventure, where we also launched our drawing competition!
The episode featured a wonderful seaside landscape, until Connie and the gang got into some tricky waters! The clarinet represented the sound of the Jean and the rest of the customers drawing their adventure, played by the wonderful Hannah!
In this bonus episode, you’ll learn a bit more about the clarinet, how to play it, and how Hannah made the music for this Armchair Adventure.
