Term time programme outline:
There is no booking required. Sessions do not have set format and are tailored around young people's interests, but always involve music. We have experienced young tutors on site and they help those keen to sharpen their music skills using the latest technology and Apple mobile class. We tend to have one social evening every term with open mic, food and a lot of music.
The project is supported by Pret'A'Manger. Tasty sandwiches, drinks and crisps are donated for each session to sup growing talents.
Every Wednesday: 6PM - 8.00PM
Here is a sample session plan for references:
