WE CREATE

Does your child have a love for music and a creative flair? Unlock your child’s creativity and musical potential with “We Create”, a songwriting and sound recording programme designed for children aged 8 to 15. Led by professional singer-songwriters, children have the opportunity to control the creative process, select instrumentals, and create their own lyrics and melodies. Our mentors will guide your child through the process of producing a fully recorded, mixed, mastered, and release-ready single or EP.

With our We Create programme, your child will gain confidence, develop teamworking skills through collaboration with other children, build technical skills in a fun and engaging way and most importantly, socialise and make new friends!

Our facilitators are trained in NSPCC Safeguarding and possess enhanced DBS checks, ensuring a safe and secure learning environment for all.
