WHAT IS SUBSOUNDS SCHOOLS?
SubSounds Schools is an exciting 12 week, performance music programme aimed at post-primary students across the South Dublin County region. It introduces young musicians to the world of song-writing, recording and performing.
It aims to empower and link young people in the community using a creative platform for self-expression.
Students are mentored by professional musicians towards creating, producing and performing music from the original conception to the final product and performance.
This performance music programme focuses on creativity, tuition, group work, and project management. Participants are given a whole music experience that will benefit them in many areas of their careers going forward.
“You’re just given every opportunity. You never feel judged. Everyones ideas are always so different.”
How is it Delivered
The programme is managed & delivered in a partnership between Alternative Entertainments and CONTACT Studio. Two Sub Sounds musicians will attend your school weekly/fortnightly, either during or afterschool depending on the schools preference. They will bring their own equipment and make use of any instruments or sound equipment in the participating school.
“This exciting music programme is varied, vibrant and young person-focused.”
