PING AND FRIENDS, follows Ping and her friends as they find musical inspiration in unlikely places. While having fun with words and sounds, they come up with the most fantastical tunes imaginable.

Targeted at audiences of 3 to 7 years old, the series covers curriculum concepts in a playful and creative way. Rhythm is explored with movement. Sing, clap, dance, tap your toes, clap your hands and make some noise! Music is great gateway to participation and movement.

Melodies in the show are simple and repeatable, so children can sing along with the melody. Understanding of tempo as a fundamental concept of music. Songs go faster and then slower. We engage the audience in conversation through the characters using new with a careful dose of repetition, which at this age, is key.

A fantastic variety of friends from all around the world that visit Ping and Pong during the series. Each one plays instruments from their culture. Children are introduced to various instruments (sounds and timbres) that are used in music from around the world. All of Melody Meadow friends collaborate to make music together. Music is often a collaborative art.

In the show, we also see how musical instruments can be self-made: from utensils from the kitchen to recycled objects or things found in nature. Everything makes a sound. Experiencing music and sounds in a story trigger emotions. Moments are happy or sad, but there is always a way to solve the emotions with the right words and a bit of music.
