SYMCA All In Music x Music On Sea - 'Make A Band!' Workshop

Last week, pupils in Years 3 and 4 at Friars were buzzing with creativity during songwriting workshops funded by Music-on-Sea and led by the talented team at Southend YMCA’s ‘All in Music’ team. Each 30-minute session saw children decide on a theme, brainstorming ideas and crafting catchy lyrics together. Guided by professional musicians, they decided on notes for the melody and penned a collaborative song.

The pupils then practised their masterpieces before huddling around the microphone to record their songs. The magic didn't stop there! The YMCA team edited the tracks, adding instrumental backdrops, before sending them back to the school for everyone to enjoy and share.

This musical extravaganza coincided with Careers Week, providing the pupils with an inspiring glimpse into the world of a professional musician. Who knows, these budding artists at Friars may just be the chart-toppers of tomorrow!
