Pick & Mix sessions in October half tem!


Following on from the success of the first 'Pick & Mix' Music Taster Days, Cube Media is pleased to be able to offer three more Pick & Mix sessions!

Pick & Mix is an exciting new initiative for aspiring young musicians in North Yorkshire. The scheme is for 14-18 yr olds who are interested in working in music, and want to find out more about the different possibilities open to them.

Each Pick & Mix day consists of a number of taster workshops to show different ways musical skills can be used in a community and educational context. The taster sessions include:
  • Using music technology in an accessible way
  • Singing & Signing
  • World Drumming
  • Using Warm-ups & games
Following on from the Pick & Mix days, young people will have the opportunity to work with a mentor to continue their professional development. Mentoring sessions will take place January - March 2008.

In October Half Term, Pick & mix sessions will be running on the following dates:
Thursday 25th October 10 -5 Northallerton College
Friday 26th October 10-5 HYPeR, Harrogate
Saturday 27th October 10 - 5 The Melbourne Centre, York

Thanks to funding from Youth Music, we are able to offer these sessions completely free!

This is a chance not to be missed for all young people interested in taking their music further. Places are limited, so book early to avoid disappointment.
