A local community group are running a music production course for young people aged between 9 and 19.

The Mixtape Project is being run by the Crystal Palace Community Development Trust and gives young people the opportunity to take part in various workshops that include MCing, vocal recording, DJing and sequencing software producing.

Each day-long workshop is run by CRB-checked youth workers and offers a brief overview that covers:

• Sequencing – A basic audio/midi introduction to sequencing programs
• Sound synthesis – Demonstrating the basis of how to create a track using midi-sequencing
• Sampling/remixing – Cutting, pasting and editing music to create samples and remixes
• Recording techniques – Recording vocals
• Post production techniques
• DJ skills – Beat matching and cueing

There are only a limited number of places available, so contact Andrew for more information on how to apply by telephone (020 7926 2449) or email (agibson@lambeth.gov.uk).
