New Noise Music Centre

CALLING THE MUSIC MAKERS OF TOMORROW!

Do you LOVE music, want to develop your playing or give new instruments a try?
Want to meet, jam and collaborate with likeminded music makers?
Up for playing live at Future Yard?!

If the answer to any of these is YES then get yourself to the New Noise Music Centre!

New Noise Music Centre is here to support the next generation of music makers. This is a space for young people aged 11-16 to experiment across a range of instruments and music-making techniques. Try your hand at guitar, bass, keyboards, drums and singing in sessions led by our team of hugely experienced and passionate tutors.

The New Noise project is all about exploring the music that young people love, across a range of genres, including rock, pop, electronic, hip hop, jazz and everything in between. And we’ve now got specific session for 11-13s and 14-16s, with a new expanded version of the New Noise course.

Held at Future Yard on Saturday daytimes, the New Noise Music Centre will include:

– Group sessions focussed on improving skills on specific instruments, ranging from guitar, bass, drums, keys and vocals
– Small group jams to explore composition, collaboration and performance
– Workshops to learn music about music making, ranging from songwriting, music production, artist identity and more!
– Regular performance opportunities and a huge end of term show at Future Yard!

Participants are encouraged to try as many disciplines as possible, with an opportunity to focus on a particular instrument ahead of a live show at Future Yard at the end of term. Complete beginners and experienced players are all welcome. All we ask is you come with an openness to collaborate, try new things and make some noise!

The next term starts on 27th April 2024 with an intro session, followed by week 1 of the programme on 4th May 2024
This term of NNMC takes place between 27th April and 13th July 2024, with a break from 18th May – 1st June for half term.
