Over 2,000 rock, pop and club music workshops and events at venues across Suffolk are planned over the next three years to help young people across the county enjoy, and possibly make a career out of, music. The Amplifier project kicks off in October 2004 and promises to help budding musicians make the most of their skills – either just for fun or as a way of earning their living.
Aimed at 11 to 25 year olds, the programme will cover all aspects of the music industry including: music workshops – to develop their singing and playing skills; song-writing and composing sessions – multi-media sessions – using computers to make music; music business seminars – looking at how to get gigs, improving publicity skills and releasing CDs; studio craft – making the most of studio time and making your band sound better; the good gig guide – how to put on music events successfully and safely; and rock journalism – making a career out of writing about music.
Participants will be able to do individual sessions or follow a more structured course. For some participants this may lead to a recognised qualifications. Despite the rural nature of the county, Amplifier aims to make sure no one misses out. Workshops will take place at seven main venues – one in each district across the county these are supplemented by three smaller venues in each area.
Amplifier is a joint initiative between county, district and borough councils in Suffolk and The Arts Council England East. Funding for the project has been secured from the Lottery, the European Social Fund and Crime Reduction Funds. Funding is currently being sought from a range of charities, trusts and businesses.
Sponsorship opportunities include: headline sponsor, equipment sponsorship, event sponsorship, etc. All future marketing material can include logos of major sponsors.
