Workshop: Introduction to composition and group music-making with Tom Culling

Local composer and musician Tom Culling returns to Full of Noises to run a series of workshops for neurodivergent and disabled young people aged 11-17. The workshops start on 10 August and will be held over four days spread out over two weeks. These sessions were very popular last year – and places are limited to eight. What is involved? Participants will learn how to write, record and perform a piece of music in a safe and inviting environment with experienced musicians, exploring various accessible, technology-based gateways into music-making. You will explore: Musical experimentation, improvisation, composition, music technology and live-electronics, performance. These sessions are suitable for people with any level of musical experience, including those without any prior experience. There will be two sessions each day, each lasting two hours, with a lunch break and rest time in between at our accessible building in Barrow Park. Commitment of four days Over the course of the summer school, we will record an album as a group. Participants are expected to commit to coming to all sessions as they will be aiming towards an informal group performance on the last day. Carers are welcome to attend, and breakout spaces will be available during each of the sessions. Participants must bring their own lunch and are welcome to bring any instruments from home, however instruments will be provided.
