Joanna Forest Music Workshop For Schools

Classical music can be heard everywhere, from the soundtracks in computer games to the incredible film scores. Classical music can ignite imaginations and creativity and it’s so important for children to get the opportunity to experience as much music as possible, from all genres. Even as a crossover artist it is harder to be accepted by the classical industry, however I believe that for the genre to stay alive for years to come it must become more accepting of alternative classical artists that have not followed a traditional path and embrace more performers and young people wanting to get involved. Some schools are struggling to bring music to thier pupils. I visited one such school bringing my music workshop to Wilberforce Primary School. I sang songs from my second album 'The Rhythm of Life' with the pupils. It was a great feeling seeing them enjoy songs from my album, joining in with the actions and singing at the top of thier voices!... You can take a look here at what we got up to.
