School Anthem with a difference! [Yrs 5-6 - two classes for the whole day]
Using the story of the Welsh dragon as inspiration, we take the phrase ‘never give up’ / ‘daliwch ati’ and use it as a springboard to write lyrics for a school anthem. We then record on site with a bilingual backing track and create art to make a unique music DVD. We invite all schools to have their anthem DVD featured on our Anthem website, allowing everyone access to their work.
What you get:
1. Lyric workshop: the pupils work in groups to mindmap their ideas and explore relevant issues (i.e. respecting others, racism, faith, etc.), to take a creative look at the school ethos and to build team dynamics. They then work in smaller groups to write their lyrics.
2. Singing and recording: Once the teachers have chosen the verses, the pupils rehearse, perform and record their anthem to a pre-recorded backing track.
3. Illustration: we then work with the same group to draw and colour Manga style illustrations to combine with the recording in a music DVD.
Cost: £350 (Includes full day plus DVD)
