Overview

Being in a band is unquestionably an exhilarating experience. This completely original workshop has been designed so that everyone can do just that. In a nutshell, we take a group without any necessary musical experience and get them to play guitar, bass, percussion, write a song and sing it - all in one session! To top this off, there is also the option to record a piece of music. 

Details

The group will experience a working band's job of producing a piece of music, stage by stage, or working on a work in progress. The students will work through a series of tasks, learning new skills in music including:

• singing, rapping and/or song-writing 
• basic practice of musical instruments and music writing methods
• breathing and vocal exercises to enhance voice & confidence
• percussion workshop tasks
• having a chance to lead and conduct the group (great fun and builds confidence)
