What Our Musical Experiences Abroad Teach Us About Inclusivity In Music Education.

Every year in our #MusicEd degree @sydneycon, I create a new real world project for the final two weeks of our music methods course to demonstrate Project Based Learning (PBL) in Music Education. Following Jeff Robin (High Tech High), I DO THE PROJECT MYSELF, FIRST.

This year I've got us learning to use the new free SOLARIA lite voices from Eclipsed Sounds, running in the (also free) basic version of Synthesizer V by Dreamtonics. In groups, students will write their own song with SOLARIA singing the lead vocals, and then enter the Song Contest (which is the real-world outcome!) - https://www.eclipsedsounds.com/solaria-original-contest

I had also just upgraded my Arturia V Collection to the new version, so had fun playing with the new MS-20 and Augmented Strings plug-ins :)

Losing You

This song is inspired by a walk I took in my local neighbourhood with my mum. It's about how the slightly grubby city streets are my happy place. 

Here's the words;

HAPPY PLACE

The rhythm of one foot in front of the other
The leaves and the sticks and the chip packets cover
The cracks in the pavement, but nothing could smother
The bright blazing sun
The hum of the traffic, I find it so soothing
Multi-hued streams of vehicles moving
The whole of the city it seems to be grooving
To it's own beat.

'Cause right on my doorstep is my happy place
Puts a spring in my step and a smile on my face
Can you see in these eyes even the slightest trace
Of concern for your opinion?

Maybe for you it's the call of the wild
Go on retreat to find your inner child
Can you understand how I might be beguiled
By things so mundane?
So go climb your Everest, I'm happy for you
You have discovered what you need to do
I've got my own way to banish my blues
And yes, it's ok.

'Cause right on my doorstep is my happy place
Puts a spring in my step and a smile on my face
Can you see in these eyes even the slightest trace
Of concern for your opinion?

Happy Place
