Sounds of Place

in partnership with Barnardos

This project, led by Joe and Tristian, aims to inspire participants to explore environmental and wellbeing themes through music. We will guide them in writing and composing their own songs that reflect the natural world, local issues, and the importance of caring for the planet. Through interactive activities, we will introduce simple songwriting techniques, rhythm-building exercises, and creative prompts that encourage participants to express their ideas in a fun and engaging way. By the end of the workshop, each group will have created an original piece that showcases their understanding of environmental stewardship. Our goal is to empower people to use music as a tool for awareness, expression, and positive action within their communities. Outcomes of the project include a Teaching Pack materials to inspire teachers to work in this way as well as a map linking musical outcomes of the project to places.
