Schools Got Talent

Fortunately, ‘Schools Got Talent’, a contest organised by Education Leeds for the students of 14 schools, was absolutely nothing like that fateful concert.

Out of the Slums, Into the Studio

Composing music isn’t just about being the next Mozart – original soundtracks are needed for every kind of media, from computer games and radio jingles (those annoying ditties don’t write themselves) to themes for TV programmes. Writing scores for films is one of the most high profile avenues for a composer to go down, with some becoming household names and their works being hummed every time someone mentions ‘Jaws’ or ‘Star Wars’. It’s not an easy industry to break into though, so giving your students a head start with the techniques and tools in the classroom is a great way to help them capture the audiences of the future.
