The Innovation Project
"The Innovation Project" is a project between Dersingham and Calverton Primary School, which hopes to open a dialogue between the schools and the parent-student community within them. In each phase of the project, Ten students are selected to work with a music professional over two sessions where they learn the skills, they need to produce their very own podcast. In addition to this they also compose and produce their own music and song.
We have been working on the theme of "celebration" and in each podcast a parent from either Dersingham or Calverton is asked to respond to the theme and submit and audio recording. The students then work with their teacher to turn this recording in to a fully fledge podcast.
Listen to all the podcasts recorded so far!
This project is supported by Newham Music.
