Key Details:
– We will talk about the current vibrancy in the Nottingham music scene as well the buzz of doing what you love for a living, using that as a catalyst to get students thinking about what they want to do in their lives be that be a musician, a doctor or a fire-fighter.
– This event is aimed at secondary schools (we may visit primary if we have spare slots)
– Nottingham and Nottinghamshire only.
– State schools only (if we have spare slots that no state school wants, we may then offer places to private schools).
– It’s free.
– A lot of people give up their time to help make these events happen for free, as such we do ask that at least 50 students are in attendance, ideally at least 100.
– It helps, and acts as a good work experience opportunity for your sound/ music/ theatre students, if you have a sound set-up we can simply plug in to. But we can sort this ourselves if needed.
