HOW TO WRITE A SONG

The Auckland Philharmonic Orchestra is thrilled to have partnered with renowned producer and singer/songwriter Chris Sanders of Angel Star Publishing House on this unique and timely project.

A four-part series, complete with accompanying activity sheets, for use in primary school classrooms or at home to teach young children the basics of writing their own song.

Utilising the children’s song and picture book, The World's Greatest Teddy Bear Hunt, celebrating community spirit and kindness in Aotearoa; learn about how rythmn, mood, tempo and pitch make up the essential elements of writing a song.

Teddy Bear Hunt came about in response to the COVID 19 lockdowns and the song and accompanying picture book celebrates the spirit of kindness and community which emerged out of the grassroots Teddy Bear Hunt campaign. These videos were produced during COVID Alert Level 2.
