Edinburgh City Council

The City of Edinburgh Council's O.O.S.H.L.A (Out of School Hours Learning Activities) initiative. After school clubs at Drummond Community High School, between March 2003 and March 2005. S3 to S5  students were taught how to use music technology equipment and software. Compositions complimented national curriculum learning, and some of the music created was submitted for examination accreditation. Team work played a big part in the learning process, which was emphasised by a solid grounding in commitment and communication. Sessions were conducted simultaneously with my colleague, Haftor Medbøe.

Craigmount Community Wing, where I worked at Corstorphine Community Centre teaching secondary school pupils how to use music technology. This involved MIDI composition and digital recording to produce a CD.

Other work for the project included two terms of sessions with Kingsinch Special School. The music for this project was 'freeform' improvisation. Pupils expressed the up's and down's of a typical 'day in the life', from start to finish. This interpretation was complimented by a series of personal interview's documenting very individual commentaries from each of the pupils.
