Branwen and Osian are<br \/>superb icons and role-models of the Welsh music scene with both being professional<br \/>performers and composers; their work with us as a school was an exciting and inspiring<br \/>experience for the pupils. This workshop was organised as part of an expedition organised<br \/>by both the Welsh and Music departments in preperation for the upcoming Curriculum for<br \/>Wales.<br \/>These days were a great way for the pupils to develop into able and creative learners as<br \/>they went about choosing a theme for their songs, composing the words and melody and<br \/>then performing them at the end of the day. They then refined and further developed their<br \/>songs in their lessons before recording the songs professionally.<br \/>This was an unique workshop that not only developed their musical composing skills, but<br \/>also honed their poetic skills as the words and melody flowed into one. We were delighted,<br \/>in a bilingual school like Bro Hyddgen, that all pupils set about composing songs through the<br \/>medium of Welsh and chose themes that also refined their understanding of the language<br \/>and Wales in general. \"Adref\" and \"Cymru\" are the themes of both songs.<br \/>Mr Dafydd Jones, the Headteacher at Ysgol Bro Hyddgen is very proud of the work<br \/>undertaken: \u201cIt has been inspirational to see the work undertaken in the workshop, and to<br \/>see the pupils composing and writing songs which are of an excellent standard; seeing and<br \/>hearing the songs they have written and composed themselves being performed with such<br \/>enthusiasm and pride reflects the excellent opportunities offered to pupils across a vast<br \/>range of fields. I would like to thank the Welsh and Music departments at the school for<br \/>planning this fantastic opportunity which enables our pupils to develop their skills with<br \/>enthusiasm in line with the requirements of the new curriculum; I\u2019m also very grateful to<br \/>Branwen and Osian who led the workshops in an ambitious and inclusive manner enabling<br \/>all the year 8 pupils to develop their writing and music talents so well.\u201d<br \/>The final phase of these workshops was to invite Candelas back to Bro Hyddgen to perform the two<br \/>songs in conjunction with Year 8 pupils on Welsh Music Day, \u2018Dydd Miwsig Cymru\u2019. Year 5 and 6<br \/>pupils from nearby primary schools went to Bro Hyddgen that afternoon and enjoyed themselves<br \/>listening to some of the old favorites of the popular band from Llanuwchllyn along with Year 8\u2019s new<br \/>songs. Seeing Branwen and Osian performing on stage was a huge motivation and we look forward<br \/>as a school to continue to work with them in the future.<br \/>During the afternoon, Year 8 pupils sold their CDs and on those CDs were the two songs composed<br \/>and performed by the pupils themselves. The CDs can be purchased by contacting the school<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_1 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_image_0 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_block_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brohyddgen.cymru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dydd-miwsig3.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brohyddgen.cymru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dydd-miwsig3.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.brohyddgen.cymru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dydd-miwsig3-980x735.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.brohyddgen.cymru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dydd-miwsig3-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1280px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-4235\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_image_1 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_block_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brohyddgen.cymru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dydd-miwsig.jpg\" width=\"960\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brohyddgen.cymru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dydd-miwsig.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.brohyddgen.cymru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dydd-miwsig-480x640.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 960px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-4239\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_image_2 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_block_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brohyddgen.cymru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dydd-miwsig2.jpg\" width=\"960\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brohyddgen.cymru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dydd-miwsig2.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.brohyddgen.cymru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dydd-miwsig2-480x640.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 960px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-4237\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":421,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4232","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-front-page-news","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brohyddgen.cymru\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4232","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brohyddgen.cymru\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brohyddgen.cymru\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brohyddgen.cymru\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brohyddgen.cymru\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4232"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.brohyddgen.cymru\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4232\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11515,"href":"https:\/\/www.brohyddgen.cymru\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4232\/revisions\/11515"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brohyddgen.cymru\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/421"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brohyddgen.cymru\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4232"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brohyddgen.cymru\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4232"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brohyddgen.cymru\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4232"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
