Here is some feedback from previous workshops:

“ My favorite thing about the music workshop was the fact that there was a proper microphone and music equipment which was good as we could hear ourselves, which was a first for me. I think the workshop was very good and I will hopefully be doing more, if I can. Thankyou!” 
−    Izzy Tansley aged 14.

“I liked the fact that there was a theme, so it was great to be able to base the songwriting around it. It was also nice to work in a group, because then we can share our ideas.”
−    Niamh Collins aged 12.

“The workshop was fun, I enjoyed it”
−    Ethan Collins aged 11.

Summer workshop with the Paulerspury Players

I have a 5 day summer workshop booked with the Paulerspury Players taking place 13th-17th August!

Young people can come along for a week of fun and friendship, writing their own lyrics - these can be sang, rapped or just simply spoken.
They will also be preparing dance moves to songs. We are collaborating with a dance tutor to use street dance and other choreography to depict the theme chosen.

On the last day there will be a performance showcasing what they've been up to in the week. Friends and family are welcome to come along and watch!

The week will be fairly flexible where the young people will have a lot of control over which theme they'd like and how they'd like the choreography to look, with us there to help and support them where needed.

Come along and watch on 17th August to see all their hard work!
