Saluting Our Sisters!
It’s Black History Month. This years theme is Saluting Our Sisters! Celebrating female black excellence. We asked our Spoken Word and Wellbeing coach, Trigger Bliss to delve into the history books and recognise unsung Black women from music. This resulted in a very personal exploration of her own experience and the need to recognise those who have been missed from the musical history books.
Closing the digital divide
We’re excited to be giving more thanks today as our brand new digital white board went up on the wall, ahead of our weekend classes.
A huge THANK-YOU to Mike at Every Child Online for sourcing the screen for us which will be used in songwriting sessions and will also enable us to display music and lyrics, reducing printing costs and our environmental impact: which is amazing.
We've been nominated!
We’re absolutely thrilled to say that we have been nominated for an Essex Small Business Award!
Well this is a bit wonderful! Thank you to everyone who has nominated us! We don't often get to stop and think about the impact of what we're doing here at The Song School so it's really amazing to be recognised for the good work we do. THANK-YOU!

A new addition to The Lyric Lounge
Ahead of the new term, we began kitting out our new space - The Lyric Lounge, with a blackboard wall and a new home for our Uke’s; and we were absolutely thrilled when Aspirations Southend a local charity that exists to encourage the ambitions and achievements of young people; said they would provide us with a brand new digital piano for the space.
