BEYOND books and online content, music can be a way to teach kids, and Alasdair Malloy knows a thing or two about reaching out to the young without being too instructive about it.

A creative musician who has crossed musical boundaries, Malloy is best known as a presenter for family and children's concerts. He is also a percussionist, glass harmonica player, programme deviser and arranger.
