This week over 180 children from 6 different primary schools across the Island took part in workshops with the hub learning about jobs in the music industry.
KS2 children learned about musicians, composers and creators alongside technical roles for events through designing their very own music festivals.
We saw festivals that took place on the moon (sponsored by Elon Musk no less) , an unexpected 90s rave at The Needles and events themed around Minecraft, Pokemon, sea bunnies and lots of different genres of music. One thing’s for sure, Young musicians on the Isle of Wight are definitely creative!
“Learning about roles in the music industry is an integral part of the National Plan for Music Education and is often an element that is overlooked or harder for teachers to deliver in the classroom. This was an ideal opportunity to focus on that specifically, provide some resources for teachers and allow the children to have a really positive time engaging with the subject”
- Nia Collins IOW Music Hub Lead
The music hub’s workshops were part of a huge programme of workshops delivered by lots of cultural and heritage organisations programmed and curated by Creative Island.
