Edinburgh based Elm School of Music runs custom designed music workshops for schools, hospitals and youth groups, an agency for instrumental instructors of any instrument and private instrumental tuition both in and out of school through the agency.
Munchkin Music offers interactive music classes and parties for children between 4 months and 4 years old. Munchkin Music is different from other music groups for children. Firstly it's all live - no recorded music is used - giving children an experience of what it feels like to play and listen to live instruments. Munchkin music classes are half an hour long, incorporating live singing and playing instruments, lots of movement, a story, some puppets, sometimes an introduction to a musical instrument and the very popular bubbles. The idea is to make the sessions as interactive as possible to develop the skills of the little ones. The little ones can learn from those around them and the repetitive nature of the nursery rhymes & songs can help them to develop key social skills like their concentration, anticipation and sharing plus the development of language skills. It also provides an opportunity for the parents, grandparents, nannies and carers to enjoy singing and playing with their little munchkins.
MAK Theatre Arts offers a fresh and innovative approach to drama training. Founded by three actors from one of the UK's most prestigious drama schools, MAK is devoted to creating a safe, inspiring environment in which young performers can develop and excel in their chosen art. With the tuition of our experienced and dedicated teachers we strive to nurture and enrich confidence and talent. MAK Theatre Arts understands that, whilst drama training is an exciting and invaluable process, it is not always practical to attend groups or classes in different locations at specific times. That is why MAK brings drama tuition to you. We work around the clock to make drama training fit to your schedule and even make home visits at no extra charge. We have dedicated, experienced and highly qualified tutors that work with each client personally in order to create a unique, individual, tailor-made learning experience. The MAK Theatre Arts audition preparation service is not strictly limited to drama school entry auditions. Our team have extensive knowledge and experience of professional interviews and auditions and have a great understanding of the current industry. We can offer advice and direction for anyone with a forthcoming audition for amateur or professional productions.
Ida is a neighbourhood restaurant in Queens Park. Situated in a pretty, grade II listed cornershop, it offers home-cooked Italian food six days a week to hungry locals and regulars. Almost uniquely in London restaurants, Ida's pasta is made freshly every day and rolled entirely by hand. A dying art even in Italy, hand-rolled pasta is infinitely superior to anything produced by a machine, as its rougher texture traps and holds sugo on to its surface. Ida is owned and run by a husband and wife team, Simonetta and Avi, whose Italian roots are Tuscany and Le Marche, respectively. While neither had any experience in the restaurant business, (Simonetta is a novelist, while Avi is an engineer) , Avi, in particular grew up in a family where food is sacrosant; indeed many of the dishes at Ida - in particular the hand-rolled pasta - were learned by watching his mother and aunts in the kitchen!
