     The Tu Tu's

Picture
Stroothy Robbins 0.00 -3.46.  - The Tu Tu's. A strange and moving song about a woman living alone. Written by a group of five primary school children in Brighton.
​One microphone, one laptop, one morning, a lot of encouragement and some willing creativity from the children.
Holy Streets 3.48-5.21. An edgy tune performed by six primary school children at a challenged Brighton school.         
I Wanna Be 5.22-8.43. - Friction. Six young lads at a Brighton School came up with their dreams for the future in song.

​What some say:

"Phil has run three songwriting clubs at St Martin's Junior School, Brighton with groups of six to eight pupils in Key Stage 2.
He is reliable, musical and energetic and has empathy and patience with children. He works hard to ensure they are happy and has produced some lovely CD's with the children's own work. I would highly recommend him, to any school interested in running a songwriting club."  - Alex Wingham, Headmaster.


​"Phil ran music technology sessions at Bishop David Brown School, Woking, Surrey and was absolutely inspirational with the students. They benefitted enormously from his musical knowledge. I hope he will be back again next year."- Mike Costa, Assistant Head Teacher, Head of Performing Arts
