Norfolk Music Hub in partnership with Norfolk County Council’s Holiday Activity Fund are delighted to bring two Music Technology days for young people aged between 12 and 16 to Norwich!

Please note: registration is now closed. This event is now at capacity.

The first day is for young people who have not previously attended a Music Tech session with Norfolk Music Hub and are Music Tech beginners.The second day is for those with previous Music Tech experience or who have previously attended a Music Tech course with Norfolk Music Hub or attended day one on the 30th July.

These workshop days aim to bring young people from across Norfolk with an interest in Music Technology together to learn to use a professional Digital Audio Workstation, Logic Pro X, to create an electronic music track. We will look at arrangement, sequencing, editing, mixing and production, and students will be able to take home their finished tracks as an mp3 file.

  • Day 1: Getting to know Logic and making electronic beats for beginners
    • Introduction to Logic Pro and getting to know the different features of the software. How to use Kick, Snare and Hi-Hats to produce interesting beats. Also, adding drum fills, variation and layering to our beats as a foundation for our tracks.
  • Day 2: Extended work using Logic to improve your Music Technology
    • Using previous experience and direction from the workshop to extend your Music Tech knowledge.

Young people engaging in this project will be tasked with creating a ‘Healthy Living’ jingle that can be used in a marketing campaign.

There are only 10 spaces available each day so please do not delay in registering.

The Big Norfolk Holiday Fun – Active Norfolk scheme is being run by Norfolk County Council and is free to all families with children aged 5-16, who are eligible for means-tested free school meals.
