Time needed 1 school day for one class of up to 45 children to write and record up to 4 songs.

What Happens Your pupils will work with professional children's composer Stuart Ross to write their own songs and record their own CD in one amazing day!

The day starts with a fun filled PowerPoint presentation about some of the skills involved in song writing.

Next the children get to write their own songs (either in groups or as a class).

Finally they record the songs using professional recording equipment (Maximum 4 songs).

The finished recordings are taken away and placed on CD - each child gets their own CD to keep!

Remember the songs don't have to be 'Pop-songs'. They can cover almost any style of music you want, with the lyrics covering any theme that you want.

Main Differences Between "I Want To Pretend To Be A Pop Star" & the "mini Pop Star" Workshops.

The "I Want To Pretend To Be A Pop Star" workshop is designed for one class of up to 45 children to record up to four songs in one day, either as a class or by splitting up into 'pop-groups'. The class also starts off the day by listening to a fun presentation about the art of song writing with special focus on writing lyrics. It is recommended for Yr 5/6 only.

The "Mini Pop Star" workshop is designed for a large amount of children rather than just one class. Therefore up to four different groups / classes / year groups can work with the visiting composer for about an hour each to write & record one song each. (NB This workshop works best when schools have drafted some lyrics in advance. This isn't a requirement but it is recommended.) To save time and to maximise the amount of time writing & recording the songs there is no introductory song writing presentation, just a brief introduction about the aims of the day. The "Mini Pop Star" workshop is recommended for Years 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.
