Exam Central to deliver a music programme

Exam Central will be introducing a non-residential, media and music week for up to sixty young people (11-18years) from a disadvantaged area in Sandwell. This project aims to empower young people as leader, decision makers and encourage creativity. It is based on the idea that ‘learning by doing’ is the best way to study and engage with disaffected young people.

The activity week will include activities on DJ businesses, art, and will conclude with a Music Showcase with performances by the young people, in order to give them an opportunity to showcase what they have learnt during the week.  In addition the programme will offer young people an opportunity to experiment with latest music equipment’s, allowing them to mix, record, edit, produce and present their own material or material which they like.

       

In addition to the creative part, students will also gain insight into the administrative and managerial side to music and arts. They will have the opportunity to organise themselves into teams and will be given a practical scenario in which they will develop the knowledge and skills needed for business and enterprise. They will learn how to work in, and contribute to, a team, how to make decisions and how to motivate themselves and others.
