School Workshops/Artist in Residence Program Description
Emily and Lynn want to come to your school and introduce your students to the magic of songwriting. They have developed lesson plans which enable students to create simple songs in just a few minutes and more complex within 1-2 class periods. Emily and Lynn will work with your staff to meet the specific needs of your students and incorporate educational standards within your subject area. Lyric writing may address several writing objectives within Language Arts while composition incorporates the musical elements of chord progressions, rhythm, and melody in the Music class curriculum. Songwriting lessons may extend far beyond basic writing and music composition, as students compose songs which tell the stories of civil war soldiers in Social Studies class, communicate anti-bullying messages in Guidance groups, or create educational songs to teach the Science food chain to younger grades. And that is just the beginning. Emily and Lynn’s
Songwriting across the Curriculum program tailors lessons to your educational
objectives, using the songwriting process to teach as well as assess knowledge
gained in any subject area.
Emily and Lynn effectively combine their Counseling and musical experience to create a presentation that is educational and fun as well as cathartic and uplifting for all participants. Both certified Guidance Counselors with 50+ years counseling experience between them, they establish an emotionally safe environment where students can take creative risks; fellow students and teachers are often surprised when students who are usually reluctant to share in academic settings volunteer to share stories of emotional conflict and loss and perform their works in progress.
Emily and Lynn have also presented information about the Music Business as part of Career Exploration Day. They can also meet with enrichment groups to delve deeper into songwriting, including more sophisticated writing and multiple instrument and harmony arrangements as well as recording.
Emily and Lynn have grant writing experience and will assist in proposal and reporting paperwork completion if needed.
