Songwriting with my daughter
So this is the second time this has happened, My daughter wanted to get involved with my music making and helped me to write the beginning of a song, she grabbed her djembe, ukulele and home made shaker (Blue Peter would be proud) and started singing : you can hear her melody in the video, and she lit up when I stuck a few chords behind her and joined in. She took the recording straight to Mum to show her, how cool!
Here is the first song my Daughter helped me to write, the initial piano melody was played by her before she went to bed, I stuck the piano on record and asked her to play for me and Mum, I took the recording and added some harmony and rhythms and built it into a fuller sounding piece to show her in the morning. I thought if nothing else this would be something cool for her to have when she’s older. Anyway enjoy! (not finished, as usual HAHA!) Her original melody can be heard being played on xylophone at 00:39.
