about

These songs are a musical response to the urgent issue of climate change, inspired by protest signs and slogans of the worldwide movementt“Fridays for Future”.
They can be sung anywhere by young and old alike.
The songs are perfect for community choirs, a capella or accompanied, and ideal to be performed at climate change events. These cross- curricular songs (CLIL) are particularly suitable for use in the MFL classroom as well as for the music lesson. All songs lend themselves to be choreographed or enhanced by actions. Props and/ or crafted protest signs can also enrich a performance visually and serve as a memory aid. Scores for all the songs are available as a bonus when you purchase the EP.
Have fun singing for planet earth!
Contact Martina for more info and for live bookings.
