Songwriting
A totally learner-centered experience with a just-in-time response to writing lyrics, creating and recording melodies and musical accompaniment.
Songwriting at Kōtui Ako is a totally learner-centered experience! Each learner starts where they are at and is supported to make progress in any or all of writing lyrics, creating and recording vocal melodies, chord structures and musical accompaniment. Zoom class content each week is majorly a ‘just in time’ response to what is on top for the learners.
Start where you are at, take it further and maybe apply some AI on the way!
They work individually and collaboratively as it suits them. Being respectful and proactively nurturing of each others’ musical efforts is a requirement for being part of our class. Unsurprisingly the music and lyrics produced are rich and varied.
As part of the project students will access cloud-based music software (likely to be Soundtrap) in addition to their own instruments and computer-based music software (like GarageBand).
Students need to commit to producing some independent work each week and support from their school teacher to encourage this commitment is important.
