This project saw three groups of year 7s working with the world renowned beat-boxer Shlomo to create their own pieces of work ready for performance at the end of their 5 day project. The project started off with an introductory session where the three groups came together for a fantastically exciting and explosive beat-boxing introduction by Shlomo. The excitement was palpable in the room, and looks of disbelief at what a voice could do! (Not only from the students either!). Students then had two lyric writing sessions, and two composition sessions before the final rehearsals. The project concluded with a fantastic performance in front of their families and friends where they showcased their new beat-boxing skills and their compositions. The audience was already overwhelmed by the whole experience, when Shlomo gave an impromptu performance at the end as well!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Photos: Hannah Hall<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hmdt.org.uk\/hmdtmusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/600-px-Schlomo-works-with-Abbeyfield-School.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hmdt.org.uk\/hmdtmusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/600px-Abbeyfield-Students-Beat-box.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-923\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hmdt.org.uk\/hmdtmusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/600px-Abbeyfield-Students-Beat-box.jpg\" alt=\"600px Abbeyfield Students Beat-box\" width=\"600\" height=\"739\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hmdt.org.uk\/hmdtmusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/600px-Abbeyfield-Students-Beat-box.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.hmdt.org.uk\/hmdtmusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/600px-Abbeyfield-Students-Beat-box-243x300.jpg 243w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hmdt.org.uk\/hmdtmusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/600px-Schlomo-works-with-Abbeyfield-School.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-924\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hmdt.org.uk\/hmdtmusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/600px-Schlomo-works-with-Abbeyfield-School.jpg\" alt=\"600px Schlomo works with Abbeyfield School\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hmdt.org.uk\/hmdtmusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/600px-Schlomo-works-with-Abbeyfield-School.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.hmdt.org.uk\/hmdtmusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/600px-Schlomo-works-with-Abbeyfield-School-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past term HMDT Music has been working with Abbeyfield School in Northampton on a Music and Literacy project.
