Writing Chants for Arts Celebration; and Making Music!

We are working on developing ideas for our Arts Celebration. Mauī the Trickster is the inspiration so we are brainstorming all of the words assosiated with him. These include; troublemaker, jester, clown, dreamchaser, provocateur, demi-god, shadow, shapeshifter, hero.... The list goes on. We have a group of musicians who will provide the backing track; the pulse, the heart beat to these chants. And some will become songs.

We are learning about how to construct a song, using consistent forms, counting syllables so that each line 'scans' well, maintaining the rhythm.

We are really dialling up our Creativity!
