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.

Drummer boy
Daz has also been visiting Naseby Centre. Here there are a group of older lads who are really wonderful and help to teach the younger ones. Ali has been diligently teaching Farzaan how to play the drums, and in a matter of weeks, he has gone from being a total beginner to a total pro. Well done both of you for being brilliant.
Daz at Norton Hall
Let's gloss over the fact that I haven't posted for a while. Things are a little crazy as we come to the end of our Youth Music project. We're planning a final performance, details of which will be dripped out over a period of several days like when they announced the new Justin Timberlake album.
Our music leader Daz has been delivering sessions at Norton Hall on guitar. He's been teaching chords and exercises to help develop our young musicians into rocking lead and rhythms guitarists. We've also been learning TV themes, playing musical games and talking about what it means to be a musician.
Here are some pictures from the sessions at Norton.
