hello gorgeous tale tellers welcome to tell teller kids now i'm just going to tell you a little bit about the uh the facility that we have here on the podcast show now we're a performance arts broadcast channel and what that means is everything to do with stories storytelling music and musicianship playing listening acting dancing singing all of these things all rolled in together and i'll be sharing with you over the coming months and years hopefully all of the things that i do at the performing arts school now i'm a teacher i teach cello and piano but i'm cutting those back a little because it takes a very very long time to fit everybody in who i'm teaching we're going to do one or two music lessons each day but the biggest thing that we're doing here at the performing arts project is storytelling and that's why we're called tale teller kids of course but what i'm going to do is i'm going to start reciting lots and lots of wonderful stories and just putting in a little bit of live music while i do it and this makes things really really exciting and we can really get in the mood so if we play something happy in the background of a happy story our spirits can be uplifted but if we're if we're playing something you know if we're playing a rather solemn story or a sad story we wouldn't want to play a comedy music track behind us so that's what we're going to do here we're also uploading lots and lots of free tracks that you can play upload download share move around the internet and they are recited by our colleagues over at librivox and there are a lot of hours of wonderful wonderful stories you don't have to necessarily look for new ones when we have such a magnificent archive of literature children's literature from all over the world so i'm going to be sharing lots more of that as well and that that vast catalogue of wonderful things and then we're also going to be hopefully introducing some of you guys who are going to send me some things stories that they've told it'd be lovely to share that on the podcast or perhaps songs that you've sung or versions of stories that you've recited yourself all of these things so this is really just a big welcome from me and to say that the tale teller kids club is very very very happy that you are part of this wonderful wonderful podcast
