Supersonic - Bear Hunt!

Supersonic Music Projects have been designed by SCO musicians working alongside leading composers and music educators to create projects especially for school groups.  Sessions are interactive, curriculum-linked, and most of all, fun!

Guaranteed to have children singing in the playground, this project uses the classic children's story as the inspiration for a magical journey to find the bear through a series of mini musical adventures. With a song specially composed by leading British composer Alec Roth, and plenty of opportunities to make music, Bear Hunt! is a project for primary children.

Created in consultation with teachers and music specialists Bear Hunt! is devised for children in the first few years of primary school.For more details of the project, download the Bear Hunt! information sheet here.

Since its creation in 2003, SCO Education's Bear Hunt! project has travelled far and wide.  Lis Dooner, Ruth Ellis and Alison Green have visited schools throughout Scotland, from Sanday to Kirkcudbright.  an adapted version of the project has also enthralled very small children at Craigmillar Library and the Edinburgh International Book Festival.

There has been no shortage in sightings of bears in Scotland and the talented trio are in hot demand from schools - the next Bear Hunt! may take place somewhere near you! We're not scared!

 

This project is available for schools throughout Scotland, please contact Lucy Perry, 0131 478 8355 to find out more.
