Pooncarie

I've been visiting Pooncarie with Dee regularly this year to work with children through Pooncarie Children's Outreach Services. We have been exploring music and singing through pitch and rhythm, and how it all comes together.

Dee kindly put them together into song lyric form and I added some music. The video above is the result of all that, together with the voices of the mum's and children, and some help on percussion from the infants :-)
