A unique chance to write and record music for film! Open to young people in school years 7 – 11.

We are delighted to be partnering with Kirklees Council to offer exciting music-making opportunities for young people in school years 7 – 11 (ie. aged 11 – 16). Over the summer holiday we will be offering four fantastic multi-day workshops, all taking place at the University of Huddersfield.

Our summer holiday workshops are comprised of four distinct programmes, each designed to be attended as a multi-day course. Young people are invited to participate in as many of the programmes as they would like – each one provides 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 on each programme for young people in receipt of free school meals. A handful of places for other high school pupils are available, priced at £13.50 per 2-day programme. All places include a hot lunch provided by the University of Huddersfield’s on-campus canteen.
