Book More Music for a full day or two half days to deliver one of the following creative and inspiring workshops, led by talented musicians with substantial teaching and performing experience. All of these workshops can be bespoke to your school and be adapted to fit the needs of your pupils, More Music will consult with you once you have made your choice from their offers.

Participatory music making

This can involve a musician performing or creating songs with pupils that they can join in with vocally and/or with simple instruments such as percussion, plus music-based games/activities to promote engagement and communication. Suitable for groups with a wide range of needs.

Beatboxing and Rap

Learn the techniques for creating beats with just your voice and a microphone, these sessions can particularly engage teenage boys who are reluctant to be involved in vocal work.  The session can also include writing lyrics, which helps develop literacy and links to poetic and linguistic devices.

 

 

Spring into Samba

Samba Drumming

We draw on over 20 years’ experience of performing and teaching Samba music, and use traditional Brazilian teaching techniques; vocalising then beating the rhythms.  We can bring a whole array of kit, such as drums, bells and shakers so everyone can be involved.

West African Drumming

A fun, simple and inclusive drumming workshop, we use authentic djembes (made from wood and goatskin).  They are hand percussion instruments so no sticks are required and work well with call and response group exercises.

Songwriting

These workshops are great for developing language, creativity and self-expression.  It can link with any thematic or curriculum area of your choice, utilising different musical genres, music tech and styles to make something new.

His accolades include leading Red Admiral to a National Finals spot and clinching the "Most Outstanding Player" award. Joe has also shone brightly with the Lancashire Youth Brass Band, Elland Youth Silver Band, and graced prestigious venues with the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain.Recently Joe has gained valuable experience with the famous Leyland Band that has put him in good stead to become our Principal Cornet!As Joe prepares to study Music Performance and Music Production A Levels at Cardinal Newman College, the band are excited to support his continued growth and look forward to many memorable performances together.The band have been looking for a long-term Principal Cornet for nearly four years and would like to thank the many guests and friends of the band who have stepped in to the hot seat for concerts as well as contests!Musical Director, John Atkinson, says “I am thrilled to welcome Joe to the band - for a player so young, he has a maturity to his playing beyond his years and has so much potential!I have been aware of his playing for quite some time now and I have always been impressed by his warm sound and lyrical phrasing. Couple that with his technical prowess and a wide range, he is already a great cornet player and a huge asset to the band.I am looking forward to working more closely with Joe and seeing him flourish into a star of the future!”It is an exciting time at Freckleton Band, with the fourth place result at the North West Regional Championships securing their position in the top section and an exciting roster of concerts and contests planned for the remainder of 2026.
