We're celebrating the launch of a CD of original music written and recorded by young people of Hodge Hill with a live performance on Monday 17th December at the Vibe in Birmingham. We're so excited to see the result of months of hard work from the guys and our music producer James Kennaby. Please come along to support!
Youth Music awarded the Heart of England Foundation Trust a grant to carry out a major music project with children and young people at Heartlands Hospital and in the Hodge Hill community. 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.

West African xylophone music
This is a piece of music composed by two young people on the ward at Heartlands Hospital. I've been doing some sessions on West African instruments and after they learnt some Ugandan xylophone music they made up their own tune!
