    Songs to Share

     

    Exciting new training opportunity for adults involved with music making and singing with children and young people.

     

    In partnership with Glyndebourne, SoundCity is pleased to announce ‘Songs to Share’, a project that will bring together teachers; community musicians; youth workers; social workers and colleagues from public health to make music together, be creative and reflect and share good practice.

     

    Four evening sessions will take place during the Autumn term to be led by Howard Moody, for practitioners to explore singing, songwriting and performance skills.

     

    Dates to be finalised and circulated in September.  To express interest, please email holly.griffiths@brighton-hove.gov.uk
