Songmaking and cultural placemaking projects in Schools
Fun, creative and curriculum-enhancing, Songmaking in
Schools involves pupils participating together to create and develop
songs on any topic, exploring language in English and Scots. Singing,
recording and performing the songs they have written, children fulfill
the experiences and outcomes targets in curriculum areas including the
new emphasis on Studying Scotland.
Based in Scotland, while taking an approach which is both portable and suitable for training.

Council in the 1990s, then created the much-praised Scotland's Songs

methods, developing the model to include other traditional art forms and
instrument demonstrations where appropriate.
