About this Event
Music Lab is open to anyone aged 14 - 18 yrs with an enthusiasm for music and a creative mind.
COURSE TUTOR: WILL FRAMPTON
GUEST ARTIST: DAN JOHNSON
SESSION FOCUS: Drumming, Percussion and Deep Listening
Guided by Drummer Dan Johnson we'll be exploring deep listening, rhythm, and improvisation. Dan will demonstrate the inventive ways he uses drums and percussion - including by adding electronics - before introducing rhythms and structures to help us improvise new music as a group. Everyone will get a chance to play the drums as well as lots of percussion instruments. This is a great session for anyone interested in developing their performance and rhythm skills as well as creative approaches to music. Don't forget to bring ear plugs!
Music Lab is a creative space for 14–18-year-olds to experiment, collaborate, and push the boundaries of music-making. Whether you're into beats, samples, synths, or live instruments, this is your chance to try new things, learn new skills, and explore the possibilities of music technology.
Led by course tutor Will Frampton and joined by a rotating lineup of guest artists from the music industry, each session gives you the chance to create original music using a wide range of tools — from traditional instruments and voice to found sounds, apps, synths, loops, and DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations).
You’ll get hands-on with recording, editing, mixing, and sound design, blurring the lines between genres and discovering your own unique sound. You're also welcome to bring your own instrument or gear to plug into the mix.
Music Lab is free to attend and open to all skill levels. Just bring your curiosity, and let’s make some noise.
