Press play just as the train goes overhead.

Sound walk instructions

Before you start walking

Turn off your phone.

If you are with people, don’t talk to each other, just take in the sounds, smells, colours. Follow the directions.

When you reach the bridge

Stand quietly under the bridge and wait for a train. Listen to it approach, and go by overhead.

Listen to a couple more, silently take in the minutes and the sounds around you between each train. Then when you’re ready...

As the next train passes overhead sing out with it! Or choose how you want to respond.

When the train has passed, be silent and wait for the next one.

Sing along to a few trains to really get a feel for it.

As the train goes overhead...

You can engage however you like...

Just listen and hum.

Can you harmonise with it?

Sing/shout out!

Listen to a pre-recorded voice - put one headphone on and press play to join other voices as the train goes by.

Record yourself ( and send the recording to me to add to the voices of Singing with Bridges).

Write down the answer later to “How does it make you feel?”
