Voices in the Valley
Talking Points
Creative and Musical Expression
Are these kids for real? Could they be any more talented and entertaining? Members of The Shire’s Audio Drama Team answer Steph’s questions about writing, producing and acting in a radio play with wit and candor. Penny, one of the student composers, provides examples of transition music, and student host Claudia interviews Robert Frost III, the composer mentor for the radio play. Robert collaborated with the students to write the original theme music of “Don’t Cry Over Cold Tea”. He discusses the creative process in musical composition and explains how to solve writer’s block.
