Pedestrian Music Course - Day 4

This morning we had a recap on where everyone is at with their tracks, as well as what we did the previous day.

Some young people worked on the front covers of their tracks and gave the album a name whilst others worked on putting music to their lyrics and others started or finished their recordings.

Although we had a lot to do the group continued working really hard to complete everything ready to showcase on Friday.

We had a lovely surprise visit from an old participant and her baby (who got involved himself by playing with some of the instruments) who shared her musical knowledge with the group.

It was lovely to see the impact the music course had on them and that they wanted to maintain the link.
