In this session, students dive into the signature song types of musical theatre—the laugh-out-loud Comedy Song and the iconic “I Want” Song, where characters reveal their dreams and set the plot in motion. They’ll explore character archetypes across classic and modern musicals, learning how composers and lyricists use melody, harmony, repetition, and scansion to shape meaning.
Through listening analysis and creative composition, students write their own “I Want” or Comedy song. Then, using immersive tech, they’ll design an AR experience to showcase their work—creating a digital program or performance hub for a real or imagined school musical. This session works especially well if your school is running a production concurrently, giving students a chance to apply their learning in real-time.

In this flexible session, students explore African rhythms and cultural drumming traditions—starting with simple clapping patterns and layering polyrhythms, then building toward full-scale digital or live performance. Whether your class uses hand percussion, backing tracks, or MIDI grid controllers, this unit adapts to your school’s resources and student experience.
Students will engage with concepts like syncopation, call-and-response, and groove layering, supported by curated materials and backing tracks. The session includes an immersive online journey through different regions of Africa, where students discover cultural contexts and complete musical challenges to earn stamps in their Digital African Passport.
Perfect for rhythm-focused learning, drumming ensembles, and expanding students’ global music perspective—all while building real-world music performance skills.

From the vibrant streets of Havana to the heart of contemporary Reggaeton, students explore the rhythmic language and cultural identity of Latin American music. They’ll analyse the traditional instruments and key features of dance styles like Samba, Tango, Cumbia, and Salsa, learning about timbre, metre, and clave-based rhythmic layering.
This session includes listening and performance tasks—like clapping clave patterns, improvising over hemiolas, and dissecting the rhythms of We Don’t Talk About Bruno. Students create and perform their own Latin-infused compositions using MIDI grid controllers, percussion, or found instruments.
Their final project? A student-produced Latin dance track, paired with a reflection on the cultural and political power of Latin music. The immersive experience takes students on a virtual journey through Latin America, allowing them to explore, reflect, and stamp their way through this energetic musical region.
