Every Wednesday (during term times) Moogie Wonderland a participatory arts organisation based in Cornwall will be running free experimental music and performance sessions for 12-16-year-olds at AMATA on the Tremough Campus, Falmouth University between 4:30-5:45 pm.

Through the organisations Cornwall Youth Noise Orchestra, young people can take part in making music in a different way to traditional music lessons – using the fun 'noise stations' and alternatives to regular notation.

The first season of the Cornwall Youth Noise Orchestra was great a successthat saw those involved perform s concert at National Maritime Museum Cornwall and getting played on BBC Radio 3.

During this second season your child will perform music, compose and conduct music, record and release a vinyl, plan a professional concert, and as recognised Arts Award centre your child can also work towards an industry-recognised Arts Award at Explore level.

Sessions are led by experienced musicians and artists who have created work with Tate, BBC Radiophonic Workshop, Hockeysmith, Mildred Maude, Damo Suzuki (Can), and more. The team also has lots of experience in running activities for young people.

The organisers were hopeful lots of young people would come a long and try it out, they said: "We love seeing young people enjoy themselves while making music together – it's an excellent social activity and a chance to make friends, but it's also suitable for people who don't feel as confident as others."

Your child does not need to have played music before to join and does not need to be able to read music it will be a great chance for people who love music and want to give it a go.

Booking is now open and places are limited. To join, your child will simply need to be available for the sessions during term time until July. They will be working towards two performances and should be available on Sat 22 July 2023 for a concert.

If your child is interested in joining, please email [email protected] and please let them know any access requirements so that they can discuss this with you.
