Children can clap, sing or play along to these short films that bring together music and storytelling.

A musician from England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales tells how music changed their childhood and introduces us to a traditional local instrument alongside one of their own contemporary songs.

Musical storytelling from rapper Nadia Rose about rhyme, to a rock band Lucia and the Best Boys and singers Bridie Monds-Watson - also known as SOAK - and Kizzy Crawford. 

Activities for young disabled learners or pupils with additional support needs

BBC Bring the Noise, with the support from teachers and experts, presents a set of introductory music lessons for use with young disabled learners or those with additional support needs. They can also be used or adapted by parents or guardians in the home.
