Songwriting at Key Center
..with a little help from our friends!
Our favorite local singer, Laurie Mangold was back at Key Center again on June 1, this time to help our students compose some music! This year in Studio, students have been learning about music and instruments with one unit focusing on musical composition. TAFFY was able to bring Laurie in to help bring the students' songs to life. The students participated in the process with Laurie by choosing the topic of the song, the tempo, the pattern of the song and the title of the song.
You can listen to these compositions by clicking the links below:
"When I Feel Happy" - by the Curtis Team
"Friendships" - by Team "Flaurie"
"Sounds Good" by Vinnie and his friends

VERSE 1 When I feel happy I feel cool We’re not crabby At this school

VERSE 2 When I feel glad I feel fine It’s not bad My feelings are mine
CHORUS |
VERSE 1 We like to play with our friends We like to play with our friends Friendship never bends Because the fun never ends
CHORUS Friendship is awesome Friendship makes us blossom Friendship helps us grow And helps us go with the flow
VERSE 2 Our friends are really sweet Our friends are really sweet Our friends like to eat And dance to the beat

CHORUS Dance, dance, dance Take a chance Hanging out with my friends Laughing never ends
VERSE 1 When I am happy I feel relaxed Especially when I’m eating my snacks
CHORUS
VERSE 2 When I’m having fun I’m filled with joy Especially when I’m playing with my toy
