Science & Music Youth Workshop - Noisy Junk

This science and music workshop is an ideal opportunity to help young people find out how easy it is to produce strange and funny sounds from everyday objects.

This workshop gives young people the opportunity to make use of the many materials people throw away every day, such as everyday objects like bins and pans, to electrical products like radios.

In this workshop, students will get to make instruments and then use them in a noisy junk-jam, learning to play beats and create interesting music together.  They will also find out why they sound like they do, looking at the sound-waves on a screen and experimenting with vibrations.

Instruments can be kept and taken home at the end of the science and music workshop, for the cost of the materials, which is £5.

What will young people get from this workshop?

• An understanding of how sound and vibrations work, aided by hands-on experimentation and multi-sensory equipment.
• Group rhythm and music making activities that aid communication, expression and teamwork,

• Practical experience of using simple electrical circuits, connections and devices such as amplifiers and microphones.
• Zany noisy fun!
