Dorset Music Hub is crowdfunding for a project that will encourage young people to make music and learn new skills.
They are proposing to create a collaborative record label to develop the musical learning and emotional expression of young people. A series of free workshops will help young people learn how to reflect on their own life experiences, develop their song writing skills and learn music production techniques.
If the hub reaches their target of £5,000 it will unlock match funding from Arts Council England.
Clair McColl, manager of the Dorset Music Hub, said:
“We are interested in working with young people to help them collaborate, empathise and express themselves through music. With this project we can meet more young people and help change their lives.”
The finished songs will be shared, celebrated. A panel of supportive music education experts will make a selection to be promoted on the online platform Routenote to generate income for the young artists under the Discover Dorset label. This project will bring marginalised voices into the spotlight and create a generation of new Dorset artists.
