A worked example
Meet Mr Okafor, our example teacher
He's not a real student, but many teachers share his story. This shows the kind of details families send us, and the song we create from them.
Mr Okafor
Eleven years of music, started a band with three kids and a broken keyboard.
- Started the school band with three kids and a cracked keyboard
- Band played the town hall last month
- Gives up lunchtimes for rehearsals, never missed one
- Leaves the school this term after eleven years
What the class told us
Mr Okafor leaves our school this term after eleven years teaching music. He started the school band with three kids and a broken keyboard; last month they played the town hall. He gives up his lunchtimes for rehearsals and has never missed one. The kids want to send him off with a song, which feels like the only correct way.
The sort of thing a class might send us

Verse 1
Eleven years of chalk dust and of chordsEleven years of patience with us allYou took three kids and one old broken keyboardAnd built a sound that filled the town hall
Pre-Chorus
Every lunchtime, there you wereNever once said "not today"So before you go, sir, we've got somethingWe've got something we should say
Chorus
This one's for you, Mr OkaforFor every song you helped us findYou gave your lunchtimes, gave us your timeNow we're giving you ours, one last timeMr Okafor, this one's for you
Verse 2
That broken keyboard barely held a tuneBut you swore we'd get there in the endAnd look at us now, standing in this roomYou made us a band, you made us friends
Pre-Chorus
Every lunchtime, there you wereNever once said "not today"So before the bell rings out for good, sirWe've got something we should say
Chorus
This one's for you, Mr OkaforFor every song you helped us findYou gave your lunchtimes, gave us your timeNow we're giving you ours, one last timeMr Okafor, this one's for you
Bridge
We remember the town hall lightsThe nerves before we walked out thereYou stood behind us, said "you've got this, alright"And we did, because you were there
Chorus
This one's for you, Mr OkaforFor every song you helped us findYou gave your lunchtimes, gave us your timeNow we're giving you ours, one last time
Outro
So play us out, sir, one more timeEleven years, and every one worth itMr Okafor, wherever you goThank you, sirThis one's for you
Every song is written from scratch for one person only. Mr Okafor's came from a broken keyboard, a town-hall performance and countless lunchtime rehearsals. Yours will come from whatever you tell us.

The first rehearsal

The town-hall performance
The night the band played the town hall, the lights, the applause. A perfect bridge moment.
Lunchtime sacrifice
He gave up his lunch for practice, never missing a beat. It shows his dedication.
A favourite phrase
Any catch-phrase he uses while conducting: it belongs in the chorus.
