  • Contemporary Music


    Contemporary Music is largely student driven and supported by staff and external facilitators especially from Creative Sounds [The Stomach].

     “Band Aid” creates a student network of musicians who organise jam sessions for fun and form groups with the view to competing in Smokefree Rockquest and for school/ community performances. 

    • Tutorials and workshops by professional musicians provide learning opportunities on a range of topics including: instrument maintenance, FX pedals, microphone use, stagecraft, song writing, business and industry skills.
    • Peer and staff mentoring is central to developing confidence and skills in styles from acoustic singer/ songwriter to electrronica and metal.
    • Regular open mic’ lunchtimes provide opportunities to perform originals and covers.
    • Courses in audio engineering provided by Creative Sounds and BHS staff develop live mixing and recording skills
    • In term two we will reintroduce DJ Club to develop turntable, sampling and production skills.

    Our aim with Band Aid is to encourage  guys to make beautiful noise together and to create a number of bands for Rockquest. The registration form provides information about you so that we can form a network of musicians that students may contact other  directly through their email to organise jam sessions. We will have a range of tutorials at lunchtimes. Please indicate the ones that you would be interested in. Follow the link below to complete the form.
