Productions
In 2013 Lucy-Rose started arranging music upon request. Since then she has undertaken more arranging, and in recent years have written and co-ordinated school productions involving over a hundred pupils and a community choir. She brings a new twist to her writing and always tries to include every child no matter what their musical ability may be.
It is one of Lucy-Rose's beliefs that all children are gifted musically and have the ability to perform – working on this philosophy she encourage all those who normally take a backseat, to have leading roles in productions, aiming to build up their self-confidence which will in turn help them in all aspects of life.
Having arranged and choreographed music involving party poppers in a church carol service, to a dance with umbrellas, Lucy-Rose continues to try and spread enthusiasm and unique twist on music to those she works with.
