A nice short practice for mini tale-teller musicians in C major with fingerings for grade 1 ABRSM.
Making learning and practice fun with some silliness to help us learn.
I try to keep the practices short and you can mix and match classes as the podcasts grow. Get bonus content on Patreon

The stories, first published in 1902, are fantastic accounts of how various natural phenomena came about. The original editions of Just So Stories were illustrated with woodcuts by Kipling himself. Many of the stories are addressed to "Best Beloved" (they were first written for Kipling's eldest daughter, Josephine, who had died during an outbreak of influenza in 1899), and throughout they use a comically elevated style inspired by the formal speech of India, full of long and improbable-sounding words, some of them made up. As a result, it is a delight to read them aloud, and easy to memorise passages from them. (Summary from Wikipedia) Get bonus content on Patreon
