Greetings!  I coordinate a music program for youth at a centre I work at.  This is a song that myself and a youth participant wrote and sing to accompanied by my guitar playing (sorry for a few ringy strings!)  

My Feelings For You

Greetings!  I coordinate a music program for youth at a centre I work at.  This is a song that myself and my youth participants wrote and sing while I play the guitar (sorry for a few ringy strings!).  My youth participant supplies the vocals and tambourine while I harmonize and play the guitar to a sunshine-summoning-song!

The Alive Song

Greetings!  I coordinate a music program for youth at a centre I work at.  This is a song that myself and my youth participants wrote and sing while I play the guitar (sorry for a few ringy strings!)  This particular song was written (in the form of a poem) by a group of young girls and myself which is spoken on this track.  When asked "what do we have all in common and what do we feel is important to sing about?" We had forged an agreement to have an ode to our sisters!!  (Enjoy the sounds of our youth drop in centre in the backround!  A very normal day, it was!)  

For You, My Sister

Greetings! I coordinate a music program for youth. Through this songwriting program, the kids learned how to express their emotions and creativity through music.   Inadvertently for me, revived an old songwriter buried in me. (See kids?  Us, staff learn things from you too!)  I brought to my youth participant some old unfinished songs I had written a long time ago. She chose one that stood out to her, a song written by myself and my sister Tessa from years back in which this young girl insisted it become our song project! My youth participant wrote the second half of the song, in which she provides keyboard melodies during my guitar playing as we harmonize our hearts off!   Special thanks to local musician and lovely lady, Keri Latimer for being our mentor and encouraging me to get creative with the kids!


Gone A Little While

I would like to dedicate this profile to the youth I work with and the centre I work for where positive relationships have manifested into music, in this case!  You all put a smile on my face everyday! Here are just a few songs myself and a youth member has created in our very first "Song Writing Enhanced Program" during 2011/2012.  Enjoy these totally original songs, where my youth participants and I belt out some vocals and with a harmony or two.  (Please excuse my guitar playing skills!)   Special thanks to local musician and lovely lady, Keri Latimer who encouraged me to get creative with our kids!
