Unfortunately, the programme is only open to schools. We would encourage you to share the programme with your child’s teacher/school and ask them to consider registering.

The story is full of humour and warmth, but I wondered if you might be trying to say something about our treatment of animals, wildlife and nature too? What do you hope readers take from the story? Alongside the digital concert, you will have access to digital resources, an online workshop with Lucy Drever, and teacher CPD.

Gaspard's Foxtrot was created in partnership with

individual lessons with accompanying short videos, written and presented by Lucy Drever, and focusing on various aspects of the programme. Teacher CPD Session: Wednesday 24March 4-5.30pm

Lucy Drever will host two live sessions online in advance of the concert! Expect fun and games, links to the resources, what to expect from the concert and some special RSNO guests.James makes all his illustrations with traditional tools, mainly using pen and ink, and watercolours. He created his own new shade of ink especially for teh Gaspard the Fox books, which he calls ‘Gaspard Red’.

Ensuring that pupils can benefit from the positive holistic impact on learning and engagement that musical education can bring. Providing opportunities for children to deepen their understanding of culture in Scotland and the wider world. He is also the creator of the Katie art books and Ella Bella Ballerina series.
