| Hear the Songs | ||||||
A hands-on experience to unleash creativity, and build self esteem as students work together to create a song the whole school can call their own.“It was an amazing day. It would be wondrous, if all children could experience such an opportunity” ~ Michael Bourcet – Principal, Charlie Lake Elementary, Fort St. John, BC “Beyond excellent... best bang for the buck ever!” ~ Anne Smith – Principal, Shady Valley Elementary, Prince George, BC Songwriter Student Testimonials • “It was like I was a professional songwriter.” • “You can learn a lot in a short amount of time!” • “I really liked how you taught that songwriting isn’t that hard.” • “I’ll always remember this.” • Students need no musical background to participate, and • Students may be selected from one class or a cross-section of grades. • The school retains the rights to use the song on it’s website, as a fundraiser or however it wishes. • The entire day is a fun-filled, engaging learning experience. WHAT THE DAY LOOKS LIKE The Songwriting Workshop: • An educational and engaging three-hour morning Songwriting Workshop for up to 25 students from grade 2 -12. The Recording Session: • Once the song is finished, the class rehearses the song and records it onto a CD. • The CD remains with the school and is added to Lowry’s website at: www.lowryolafson.com, where it is available for free download. 40 Minute Afternoon Concert for the whole school (K-12) • The Songwriting Class performs their new song for the whole school. Parents welcome! • Lowry performs an array of entertaining and topical songs, gives a student a violin lesson and plays Pachelbel’s Canon, built layer by layer on violin, as the audience watches. • Grande Finale: with the lyrics on the overhead projector, the songwriters teach their new song to the whole school. | ||||||
