A Banging Summer Activity for Young People
International music-makers the Bollywood Brass Band will be leading summer music workshops for 8 – 14 year-olds across Cumbria this August.
They’re offering a fun chance to try new instruments and join together to make music. No experience is necessary – though if a youngster already plays an instrument, they’re encouraged to bring it along.
The young people will get to play drums of different sizes, and other percussion, as well as having a go at keyboards.
The 2-day workshops run from August 15th through to August 22nd in 4 different venues across the county.
The two-day workshops are led by professional musicians from the Bollywood Brass Band, who’ve played at many festivals in the UK and internationally. They’ll introduce the exciting pop music of India (as featured in the hit movie Slumdog Millionaire) and help the young people develop storylines to frame their musical creations. Participants should be available for both of the two days at their chosen location, and there’ll be a mini performance for family and friends at the end of each two-day workshop.
