Our ‘Mixtape’ music project brings young people together, creates meaningful connections between themselves and staff, and helps young people become more rounded individuals through a focus on music.
With secured funding and donations, we have been able to source good quality musical instruments and recording equipment, as well as the tutelage from, and guest speaking by, those working within the music industry.
Our project’s goal is to have our young people begin upon, or improve, their musical ability and give them professional standard tools to do so.
Young people are being taught to compose their own songs and the project concluded its second semester at the start of August with a week’s visit to an industry standard recording studio (Mark Morrow Audio) where they made an album of covers and original songs.
Through this programme we have enabled; young people to develop and improve on their instrumentation, composition, and performance – to the point where they have all composed original pieces.
In addition their confidence, verbal and written communication skills have also increased to a high level.
Through classes on lyric writing, they have all have learned to express their emotions as individuals and share these with the group.
All participants; from those young people who already had a good knowledge of their chosen instruments, to those with no knowledge of music theory or how to play an instrument – all are now in a place where they can write songs and/or play an instrument to a good/high standard.
