News Story
A collaborative, creative project for primary classes using music, movement and film making, developed as part of the SCO Wester Hailes Residency and continuing in the SCO in Craigmillar programme.
In 2019, six classes from Clovenstone, Canal View and Sighthill Primary Schools made short films of their work, which you can enjoy below.
During a series of workshops, each class invented their own narrative and created a music and movement piece bringing together ideas from the whole group. Every child was involved in the piece, either as a musician or as part of the choreographed movement.
Soundmoves Music Movies were created by P4 & P5 pupils from Clovenstone, Canal View and Sighthill Primary Schools between November 2018 and June 2019 with Matilda Brown (Composer), Ana Almeida (Music & Movement Specialist), Sandy Butler (Videographer), Aisling O'Dea (Violin), Joanna Duncan (Violin), Donald Gillan (Cello), Niamh Molloy (Cello), Harriet Davidson (Cello), William Stafford (Clarinet), and Phil Hague (Percussion). Watch all of them below:
