Music for Children
David has written extensively for children, including the music and lyrics for songs for BBC Radio and Television (and a few poems, stories and musicals). His SEALSONGS collection is widely used in primary schools, and GUESS HOW I FEEL has been a favourite children’s song for over 35 years. He has also written for school choirs and orchestras and been commissioned by the ABRSM for some pieces in the Music Medals series.
David has also created a method for teaching composing in Primary Schools (at Key Stage 2). For more information on his educational work, please click on the link EDUCATION.
Music for Children continues to be an important part of David Stoll’s output, such as his recent children’s opera, THE DRUMMER BOY OF WATERLOO, and the musical LITTLE FIR TREE, both co-written with Megg Nicol.
Available works includes DICK OTTINGTON, a new pantomime for primary schools, and the CUCKOO ROCK SONGBOOK.
