ABOUT THE PROJECT
Are you aged between 13 and 19 years old? Do you live in Bath & North East Somerset? Are you in to music? Then we really want you to be part of our new music making project!
Whatever you play whether it’s Drums, Trombone, Guitar, Violin, Decks, Trumpet, Piano, Sax, Ukulele or you MC or sing there are loads of opportunities for you to come and make music. If you’re interested in putting on your own events we’re offering hands on workshops to learn about PA systems, lighting, making sure your gigs are always sold out and giving you the chance to quiz leading industry experts.
Throughout the year we’ll be putting on events and hosting workshops with some of the UKs finest musicians and industry professionals. There will be an extra special event to tie in with the 2012 Bath International Music Festival where we will be working with some of the brightest stars that will be visiting the city in June.
If this sounds interesting then we’d love you to get in touch with us!
