School's Out! Easter Holiday Workshops 2025

We are delighted to be partnering with Kirklees Council to offer exciting music-making opportunities for young people in school years 7-11. Over the forthcoming Easter Holiday we will be offering two fantastic workshops, both taking place at the University of Huddersfield.

Our Easter Holiday workshops are comprised of two distinct programmes, each designed to be attended as a two-day course. Young people are invited to participate in either or both programmes. Each programme provides an excellent opportunity to take part in hands-on, creative music-producing experiences led by industry professionals.

We are offering 10 places free of charge on each programme for young people in receipt of free school meals. A handful of places for other high school pupils are available, priced at £13.50 per programme. All places include a hot lunch provided by the University of Huddersfield’s on-campus canteen.

Beatboxing
During this 2-day workshop you will learn the basics of this incredible art form, creating drum and percussion sounds using only your voice and a mic. Simple techniques will be taught in an easy and understandable way so that you can get started making your own beats immediately.

Led by Testament, a world record-holding beatboxer, you will have a fun experience trying out new techniques and finding out about the history of hip-hop in the process.

No previous experience is required and all equipment will be provided.
