Pedestrian Music Course - Day 2

Shay started us all off with a warm up, playing a game he named Jelly Wobbly Circle to get everyone moving and shake off that last bit of sleepiness.

Then we used the morning to work on our ASDAN and Arts Awards scrapbooks by doing some research on our artist influences and a bit of mood-boarding. The aims were to research how this artist would have, or has inspired the track, as well as music making for the week. 

All throughout the day we were working on the lyrics for our tracks, playing with words and sentences to get our take on the concept theme down ready to record tomorrow!
