Voice Choice Project 2023

What is the Voice Choice Project?

 

We are really excited to welcome a team from Nottingham’s VoiceChoice company who specialise in lively, energetic, enjoyable workshops based around music and drama. They are working with a large group of year 5 children in a project creating musical pieces for a public performance at Sutton Community Academy. To create community links with our secondary schools, there are a group of SCA Year 10 students as young leaders/ mentors to support our children.

 

Have a look at the photos and videos below to see what we have been doing in our sessions.

“I have enjoyed watching the children create their own lyrics to the songs. They have interacted well with senior leaders and youth leaders.

It was interesting to watch the performance come together along with the confidence from the children, who would normally not participate or engage with others.

The final performance was fantastic! I was so proud of all the children taking part and enjoyed watching the opera performers too!”
