Project Three: Beats

June 28, 2014

During the summer term of 2014 The Arts Excite ran an after school Music Technology Project for year 8 pupils at The Westgate School.

The project brief for our creative team of pupils was to create a music CD of their created music by each person or duo submitting 1 track each.  Over the course of 6 weeks the students worked alongside Music Tech specialist Glyn Allen who supported them in using iPad tablets, Garageband and other apps to create their own music.

The CD will be used as part of a music showcase to celebrate the musical talents of young people in Slough at the opening of the new learning curve in late 2015.

Students involved in this project said

“This is EPIC!!! And it is also very interesting.

“This is going to be fun.”

“This has been new and exciting and has given me a better idea of technology on music.”

“This has been an amazing project.”

“Very good, very innovative, very creative.”

Students involved in the project were all working toward achieving Arts Award Bronze. click the play button to listen to what they created.
