Building on the success and learnings of our Sing Together project in 2016, Sing Together 2017 continued to connect children and their parents at Osmani and Shapla primary schools through music.
Over a series of 6 weekly sessions, nursery and reception children came together with their parents and carers to write and sing songs, exploring school topics of growth and change and creating new words and music about the story of Jack and The Beanstalk. Music leaders, Abimaro Gunnell and Rosie Adediran, and Spitalfields Music Trainee Music Leader Patrick Barrett, recorded a CD of the music written and learnt during the project for children and their parents to take home so they can continue to Sing Together.
