songwriting

An innovative and creative project enabling KS3/4 students to develop skills and confidence as songwriters and performers and to get ahead with GCSE coursework, facilitated by professional musicians and artists. This is based on the highly successful project run by Living Song in partnership with NewVIc in 2013 – 14 with Forest Gate, Langdon, Cumberland and NewVIc.

Living Song, in partnership with the Newham Academy of Music and Newham VIth Form College has now launched the new Yr 9 /10 Song writing programme being offered to Newham secondary schools. The project also offers informal CPD for music teachers and is fully in line with the new OFSTED Section 5 references to literacy (used appropriately to support musical learning, spiritual, moral, social and cultural education), recognising the importance of music’s contribution to this aspect of a school’s overall effectiveness.
