Billy, Jean and I went to a workshop at CNS school for a Short Breaks workshop for children with complex needs. I thought the day went really well because the participants took interest in every aspect of the day. All the music went down really well and all Jean’s arts and crafts and animation went fairly well aswell. We spent time after lunch outside playing football and some chasing games till it got too hot. We went inside after and finished with a nice cool down session.
On Wednesday Billy and I helped Paul and Jo (CME tutors) with a rock school workshop that was held at CME. This was the first rock school workshop I had attended and it was really fun. I was really impressed with how the participants aged 7 – 12 in a group of about eight came together and managed to make a song in just three hours. I was very impressed with the participants' skills with their instruments which most of them brought with them. The day went really wel,l no one had any arguments which I expected as there will always be one guitarist that thinks he is god but there wasn’t. They worked very well as a team and in the end they put on a little performance for the parents.
On Friday Billy and I went to another rock school to help out Carl and Jo and the age group was 12 – 18. There were also about eight participants there who all brought their own instruments. This workshop was help at Access to Music. We split them up into two groups and they went into a room each to make up a song. I was incredibly impressed with the songs they had made in such a short amount of time, especially the group of three, they worked so well together and made a really good song as an outcome. At the end of the day they had a little performance for the parents which went down really well.
