Help with children

Dear all

Next week I start a new job teaching English to Austrian kids (10 - 16 year=
s old).  For two hours a day it is an open book and I am able to choose a w=
orkshop for the kids to participate in.

I am conscious of the fact that most people don't listen to what is around =
them.  I would like to introduce them to natural sounds and thought that le=
tting them listen to biophonies from around the world could be fun and rewa=
rding for them.  Obviously I would teach them the English to describe the s=
ounds they are hearing.

So I would be looking for the common and not so common natural environments=
. - if anyone can help please email me.

Secondly,  a friend of mine has a disabled child.  I am in the process of p=
utting a soundscape together mixed with "not so heavy" electroacoustic musi=
c for him.  I have a few recordings of the desert and the sea but am lookin=
g for a few more.  I want it to be gentle and soothing but also interesting=
.

Again if anyone can help, please email me

Many, many thanks in advance

David Shepherd
