Learning & Participation
Sound and Music believes that when you get creatively involved in something, either as an audience member, a creator or participant, you get more out of the experience and are more likely to continue your explorations. Sound and Music aims to create contexts and environments where as many people as possible can share in the rich experiences that the arts can give.
Sound and Music Summer School 2010
15-21 August at the Purcell School of Music. If you're aged 14-18 and are into creating music, the Sound and Music Summer School could be the opportunity of a lifetime...
Our Aims are
To develop the engagement of people of all ages, from children to adults, with new music and sound, as audiences, creators and participants
To enable outstanding composers, performers, sound artists, producers and promoters of new music and sound to become entrepreneurial and self-sustaining
To develop Sound and Music into an organisation with a culture based on evaluation, reflection and learning
Lab Testing
We like to test out ideas. At Sound and Music we have created a lab where potential project ideas can be piloted. If you have an idea you think we could test out, please get in touch.
