Scribble – New Media Orchestra
The NMO is funded through Youth Music and Arts Council England. The idea behind the orchestra is to develop an alternative approach to musical collaboration / ensemble playing, taking full advantage of rapidly evolving new technology. Using software and other technologies to Inspire participants, including those with SEN. In the last few years we have looked to help participants find their own unique musical voice / vision. We intend to build on lessons learned during the initial development phase of the orchestra as we work to draw down funding for a new programme in summer 2012.
The first programme of workshops and performances took place at:
Sandside Lodge School
Queen Katherine School
Kirkby Kendal
Sandgate School
Young Carers
Impact Housing
St Oswalds Primary School
Home Educators Network South Lakeland
Scribble - New Media Orchestra (NMO) looks to:
• Support isolated young people with limited access to music education and specialist resources
• Encourage creativity, risk taking, musical innovation, ensemble playing and digital skills development
• Integrate musical instruments with digital technologies
• Provide artistic teamwork opportunities to those whose social and peer-contact is limited.
• Stage celebratory public performances to conclude the funded programme
We would welcome your support for the project.
Thank you
