Audio Book Workshops are a fabulous way to introduce children to composition, manipulating sound using ICT and the relationship between words and music.
Each workshop features one book and culminates in a CD audio book featuring the children's compositions interspersed with their own narration of the book. An ideal project to get older children creating a product for younger children, it covers all aspects of music from composition and performing, to appraisal and evaluation.
The workshop can feature a book chosen by the school or one can be provided (featuring a range of fabulous pictures and places, moods and emotions).
This is a full day workshop to get a whole book completed, or you could choose poems to create a set of audio files. Ideal for KS2, but also possible with KS1 or even Foundation Stage.
 
Why not follow up the project by writing to the author of the book and sending them a copy of your work? Past workshops have resulted in donated books, copies of prints and even a composition from an author to inspire children to write a book!
