• Year 6 Music Technology and Songwriting Project

  Thu 29 Jun 2017

  Year 6 have thoroughly enjoyed creating two different musical styles with the help of Nathan (our music guru) from Soundstorm. First we created 'Junk Beats' using a program called 'iMaschine'. This involved laying different sounds that we harvested over a drum beat and adding keyboard chords.

   

  As an added bonus, each class then took part in a songwriting workshop and composed a class song which we were able to share with parents.
