Free workshops will take place from 31st October until March 2013 in lots of different types of music - African drumming, songwriting, DJing, rapping...and there will be a chance to work towards an Arts Award and to take part in performances and events at the hospital.

First day of African drumming!
Last week we had a brilliant few sessions of African drumming, they were loads of fun! First we had a session at Heartlands Hospital, where we got a good group going - made up of patients, parents and NHS staff. Then we went on to Hutton Hall, where there was a very small but very select group - hopefully we'll have a couple more people this week! Then on to Naseby Centre where we had the biggest and LOUDEST group yet! What a fun day. African drumming is brilliant, I'm learning lots and Sarah's a great music leader! Photos to follow!
