The involvement of 5 individual students from 5 different European countries will form a band and collaborate on writing a song and the music for that song. The students will take ownership of the project and discuss their ideas and make comments on the blog already set up. Students will use a variety of ICT tools. The project is to be directed by the staff in each school. Students will discuss the theme of their song, how the music will be written, if they choose to play instruments or whether they will use pre-recorded sounds. The project will remain flexible for students to adapt to suit their own working styles.
