For this assignment, we were placed in a group and had to write a song and perform it together. Prior to this we had a guest lecturer run us through a very helpful lesson on songwriting. A big part of this for me was learning how to collaborate and communicate in the format of music composition with a group of my peers. I really loved throwing ideas back and forth and it was really beautiful to see how an idea could be improved by every member of the group adding onto it. I think that this opened my eyes to the value of songwriting as a musicianship practice, and I aspire to bring this kind of activity to my students in the future.

This document above is the documentation of our sketched out idea for lyrics and music for our group songwriting project. 

Above is a video of our songwriting project performance. This is an in progress performance, as we did not have time in class to perform it in its final form on video, but this performance showcases the progress and process of the project.
