A summary
Siddy Bennett is a Singer-Songwriter and Educator,. A member of The Ravens, she runs her own private practice, as well as work for EggTooth and local schools. She will explore songwriting and help you to develop your ideas to create a song on the theme of TIME. Songwriting is a collaborative process, so everyone's ideas and musical talent will be included to help create songs. Maybe you can hold a guitar rift while others find the words; keep a beat; create some special effects or dance routine? There is so much to create a song. With Melisa's excellent guidance, you will develop a chorus and verse or two. The day will be full of relaxed learning and fun with no pressure. The theme is Time, which is the theme for Science Week in March 2024. We will provide light snacks. Hastings Thrives is an inclusion charity. This course is for neurodiverse young people, friends, buddies and supporters.
