#SongbirdsFoundation #WriteToRock #Songwriting
Can you believe these kids actually WROTE these songs?!
This is what happens when you give a group of elementary students access to pro song writers, producers, and performers! Write to Rock is a brand new program from Songbirds piloted at East Side Elementary here in Chattanooga. We gave students 10 after-school sessions with all the tools they need to write their very own hits. Then, we showcased their work with a full band in front of their friends and family. Be warned-It's a tear jerker!
Write to Rock was made possible by our sponsors, The Tennessee Arts Commission and Arts Build.
Huge thanks to all the East Side faculty who embraced this project and made it their own: Erica Colen, Cora Fisher, Greg Wilkey, and Catherine Casselman-thanks for the name, Catherine!
Write to Rock could not have happened without our host and resident songwriter, Amber Carrington Lewis. She and her crew made music come to life for these students.
