Years 7 and 8 MCs Emerge

Last week in Digital Creativity classes our Year 7 and 8 students were discovering ‘Live Loops’, using their iPad to create original musical compositions. For many students, this was the first time they have created an original song.

Everyone has been having a great time, listening to and sharing their creations. Some students have even decided to use their created songs as their phone ringtone.

There was a discussion around the importance of creating original musical tracks to provide the soundtrack to our sharing of other creative works such as drawings, photos and videos online. It seems our students will no longer be dependent on using the copyrighted work of others to provide background music when they are sharing their own original creations online!

We will be featuring original student music to go with videos and collages on the College social media accounts such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter in the near future, so be sure to watch this space!
