The Next Step of the Journey Starts Here...

The 4th of March was the final day of The Turning Tides Project at Okehampton College. We invited friends, family and favourite teachers to join us for a celebration where we show-cased all the work we’ve created together, over a buffet lunch.

In the five months that we have worked together, we have:

• Defined a pentatonic scale (and jammed using it)
• Described what the musical components that create a song include
• Learnt to play a couple of guitar chords, a bit of sax and to read some standard notation
• Tried playing a Drum-kit and a Cajon
• Written and performed a few songs
• Created an animation sound track
• Street danced
• Created a junk band

...I could go on but most importantly we’ve had a lot of fun.

Every session is recorded in our scrap book – take a look. In our last session we talked about what we had most enjoyed and what we’d like to do next; our next job is to look at ways to make those things happen.

(Look out for us in the Okehampton Times next Friday too!)

The next step of the journey starts here...
