On 26th September 2013 I ran a workshop with Park Street Music CIC with young mums and mums-to-be in Northampton.
We worked with the young girls to write lyrics and come up with melody lines. It was a challenging project because the girls were in different stages of pregnancy, or with babies, so had lots of things going on outside of the workshop.
One girl sang the lyrics and the other five contributed through writing lyrics, recording rattle sounds and finally at the end one of the participants brought her baby in to be recorded laughing!
They also all typed up and laminated their lyrics with their own chosen border and font.
The girls are also submitting the song to be part of their expressive arts GCSE. Brilliant project!

Lullaby Project with Park St Music CIC
On Thursday I will be running a lullaby songwriting workshop in conjunction with Park St Music CIC.
We will be working with 15 and 16 year old girls who are pregnant or have just had a baby.
Writing and singing their own lullaby gives them the expressive outlet to help connect with their baby while they're still finding their feet as a mother.
Challenging stuff but very much looking forward to this!
