Listen here to the fantastic songs written by children from the Axe Beacon schools during B Sharp's Nature Songs project - https://soundcloud.com/b-sharp-music/sets/nature-songs. The children explored the local environment with @wildeastdevon and used songwriting to develop lots of new vocabulary and learning about the plants and animals they discovered. "All the children were really engaged with the writing and performing music and grew in confidence through the sessions, they had a great time and really valued the experiences they gained. We have a lot of children with learning and behavioural needs and some of them were hesitant to get involved during the first session but by the end of the sessions the were really enjoying it. This was due to the knowledge and enthusiasm for music that came from B sharp which really inspired and motivated them. They really loved recording the lyrics and performing their parts and showed real pride in their work." Teacher
With thanks to East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Partnership for supporting the project.
