Fisher
  Paul Fisher is the charismatic fun packed presenter

Professional musician and Amersham MD Paul Fisher has certainly got a hit on his hands with his 'Learning through Music' videos which he has just launched.

Aimed at primary school children and their families, the which first episode saw him explore the colourful music of Cuba has now been viewed thousands of times and has offered a brilliant way for families to enjoy making music together.

Episode 2

There is now plenty more fun to be had in just 8 minutes as Paul explores 'Feeling the Beat!' — with the help of some great images and music.

Any presenter who can get away wearing a Ted Bovis gold lame jacket and make Glenn Miller the star of the show is sure to keep everyone entertained.

Fantastic mix

It's a fantastic mix of education, entertainment and music making using paper plates, empty tubs and just about anything that can be blown, hit and smacked!

All this and in the first episode they learn all about Cuban music...

It's brilliant...
