DUCKS Sofa Singers During the COVID-19 e-learning period, I organised the Sofa Singers choir which consisted of students from Nursery to Year 2, their parents and teachers. I provided all the resources for the parents and children to rehearse and record at home. "Rockin' All Over The World" (J. Fogerty) Mixed and produced by Adam Briggs This video has appeared on the school's Facebook feed and is available for the public to view but has been blurred on this website. |
DUCKS Choir
Due to COVID-19, the DUCKS Choir concert was cancelled and rehearsals were interrupted but I had managed to rehearse enough to ask the parents to record the children singing so that I could mix it together. The school's theme was 'Be The Change' and so I asked the children to contribute ideas that I could use to re-write the lyrics of this song. "Be The Change" (based upon the song "That's Not My Name" by The Ting Tings) Musical Director, Producer and Mixer: Adam Briggs This video has appeared on the school's Facebook feed and is available for the public to view but has been blurred on this website. |

Key Stage 2 Singing Leaders Whilst working as Head of Primary Music in Cairo, I took the opportunity to develop the leadership skills of the upper-primary students by helping them become 'Singing Leaders'. I worked with the Singing Leaders during a lunchtime session to help them plan their activities and then they would deliver the sessions to their classes. This continued for all six Year 1 classes throughout the whole academic year. |
