Musical Storyland, the new BBC music education series for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and KS1, was designed with the educational value to children at its core. This series of 10 films with accompanying classroom resources follows The Musical Story of the Gingerbread Man, the hugely successful pilot film from the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. And, judging by the tens of thousands of streams that the Gingerbread Man receives every week, this continues to be cherished in EYFS settings and homes two years after it was first broadcast on CBeebies.
Musical Storyland was created by musicians in consultation with Early Years music education experts. It gives children the opportunity to see and hear Western classical instruments and instruments from different traditions, performing specially composed high-quality music. It offers teachers easy-to-use classroom activities and listening guides that make delivering the curriculum easier – especially for non-specialist music teachers.
