Reviews

The sessions are fantastic, the boys from house 2 really enjoy it. It was very interesting during the first workshop to choose a theme and develop a concept around it. The interesting thing was when they arrived home, they wrote their own stories on pieces of paper. Even us the mentors are learning a lot from the workshops.

Mentor

Moreson (House 2)

The workshop was eye opening. It was exciting to learn that everybody has their own story, and everybody can participate in songwriting. The children are very excited. Most of them were keen to write a song about their mothers which they long for. To see feelings expressed with music is very powerful. The children are looking forward to the end year concert and the recording process.
