Summary of discussion, conclusions and/or recommendations:

Song Writing – Thunder of the night

Words First – 2400 words

Each colour sounds different

Singing the colour of the word

What is song?  What does the word song mean to you??

SCREAMING, getting rid of a pressure in my chest.

Would not share it with other people

Middle class chanting in Primrose Hill…..Ahh!!Still chanting in Sainsbury’s

Song frees something up…NOISE!!

You can sing it’s about discovery

Song + costume = Easier to sing (Laura)

Collaboration produces quicker results

RAP – Is it a song or just talk to music??

Rap is communicative.

Swearing is a release…it depends on the person

Is Rap Music Rhythmic?

Songs are they story telling put to music?!

WHEN YOU DECIDE IT’S A SONG, IT’S A SONG

Song is expression…is it about song or is it about voice?

Finding your voice, finding space where you can sing! 

Solo is better. PERFORM THE SONG don’t just sing it!

What is your favourite song?

THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT QUESTION?!

The XFACTOR…is it cruel to laugh when they can’t sing?  Or is it about what we hear?! 

Is a song good or bad or is it our perception????????
