On the 12th and 13th of March, we had a music workshop which involved the students that chose to do the workshop creating a song. First, everyone was asked to submit a song that they liked. We then voted on which songs we liked the most from the suggestions. The three most popular songs were:
- Tired - Gavin James
- Sick Boy- The Chainsmokers
- Memories- Le Petite Biscuit.
We then used the parts of the songs that we liked (such as lyrics/beat/tempo) and we would use that in our own song. For the rest of the day we wrote lyrics found from newspapers and put all of them together to form the lyrics for the song. The next day we learned about the Science of Sound which was interesting. We then had to split into groups of 4 where we then recorded us singing the song. This audio was then put to the backing track we made and we had our song.
Overall, I enjoyed the workshop even though I have zero musical talent. It was also nice just to try something new.
