Open to school pupils in Years 7 – 11

This summer, hcmf// is delighted to be partnering with Kirklees Council to offer exciting music-making opportunities for young people in school years 7-11. Our summer workshops will take place at the University of Huddersfield throughout August, with a range of activities based around working with sound.

Our summer workshops project is comprised of four distinct programmes, each designed to be attended as a two-day course. Young people are invited to participate in as many of the programmes as they would like. All the programmes provide an excellent opportunity to take part in hands-on, creative music-producing experiences led by industry professionals.

We are offering 10 places free of charge each week for young people in receipt of free school meals, and a handful of places for other high school pupils priced at £10 per course. All places include a hot lunch provided by the University of Huddersfield’s on-campus canteen.

For more information, please contact Sophie Cooper, Learning & Participation Manager: s.cooper@hud.ac.uk
