🎶 What an amazing day at our Sounding Out half term activity!

Today, young people got hands-on with music production, working with David Smith from to create their own tracks using iPads and GarageBand 🎸🎧🎹

It’s been fantastic to see so much confidence, collaboration and creativity throughout the session — and hear some brilliant original music coming together! Huge thanks to David Smith and Sapien Records for sharing his expertise and inspiring the group today. 🙌

Sounding Out! at 🎧🎤

The young people from the Sounding Out! project had an amazing time at Heartbreak Studios last night — and we’re back again next week! ✨

This project is all about youth voice. We listen to the kinds of music, activities and experiences the group want to explore, then do our best to make those ideas happen.

There was no set plan going into the session yesterday, but after putting their heads together, the group began creating an original Hip Hop/Rock track with support from our music leader and incredible producer 🎶

From recording guitars and experimenting with beats, to drumming, songwriting and studio sessions, it was brilliant to see everyone collaborating, creating and trying something new.

Huge thank you to for having us 🫶🏻

Sounding Out! is funded by Musical Opportunities for Young People (mo4y) ✨

What a day to remember yesterday was ✨ 🎶

Our Sounding Out, Emerging Artists and BTA Youth groups rocked Whitley Bay Playhouse and it was pure magic!

Huge thanks to Bernii for guiding our young people in stage presence, and to Thomas, Richard, and Beth from for sharing their sound and lighting expertise!

We also had an incredible time creating music and discovering new sounds with Jim and Ken

And what made it even more special was our young performers taking centre stage and entertaining family and friends 🎶

(And who could forget those amazing Di Meo's pizzas? 🍕😅)

Big thanks to our fantastic music leaders Ashleigh, Andi, Brit and Summa for making the day run seamlessly 🫶🏻
