MUSICAL/PERFORMANCE HELP SOUGHT BY A SCHOOL IN JULY
Could you help?... Arts Festival The school where I work is planning an Arts Festival for all pupils aged 11–15. There will be workshops in Music, Dance, Drama and Art. The pupils are all girls, and the vast majority of them are well-behaved and motivated to perform in all the listed disciplines, although their instrumental knowledge is basic or non-existent in most cases. They are, however, often keen singers in the younger years. My pupils always react positively to good input. They are not reluctant to volunteer. My guitar peripatetic teacher and I already have confirmed workshop/performance input with some sponsorship for: Keyboards - complete
Likely external input includes: African drumming workshops
I’m looking for: People who could work with classes of around 15 pupils to demonstrate their expertise, and then go on to encourage kids to participate and try things for themselves. This could be in an agreed aspect of playing / writing / performance. Each slot would last 50 minutes, but there will be flexibility. You will never be left alone with groups of pupils. A member of staff will be with you at all times.
I am seeking individual or group help for:
What this must not be is a demonstration of how gifted you are for an hour! It’s not a one-man or one-woman show! It has to be to encourage participation from pupils.
CONDITIONS:
Morning 0845 – 1245 (roughly)
If you are interested in taking part in these days, please email me with the details below. Even if you can only make one 50 minute session and would really like to, please make contact. Please understand: This is a large proposal across many areas of the school, and if there aren’t sufficient slots filled by one of the other subjects - or mine - the entire project might be cancelled. However, this is very unlikely. To make my life easy, I must initially favour people whom I know, or know of, to be reliable. I must also know that they can handle impromptu group jams with no hassle, for example. I must also respect my peripatetic teacher’s contacts. No offence intended if I run with some of his bandmates in the end, etc, because he is part of the team. Above all, I’m looking for help from enthusiasts and good communicators locally who are available at these times, and who know they can transmit their personal thing well. If you are interested, please email me here: elton1984@msn.com Any enquiries or offers of help by Mon 12 May, please. Many thanks.

We (The Jesus Mafia) are back together, we would be more than happy to put on a demonstration of how not to act when performing.....we could be the poster ads "Kids....Don't End Up Like This".....multiple venue bans from one gig (our 1st).......impressive. I would highly recommend Dman, being he already works with kids on all levels and has some exceptional talent on the bass.
NOTE: Are antics caused the bans, not our music! DOUBLE NOTE: Cause we are f'ing awesome....but it got a touch rakish, like a tipped hat. A 3RD: In fact one reviewer said, and I quote "Once I regained consciousness and picked up my teeth I had an interesting experience having a guitar removed from my colon, all in all 5 thumbs up for The Jesus Mafia". If we can help then drop me an email.

Yep, i'm more than willing to help. I have assisted with stage techinque/vocal lessons before, so have a good idea what you are looking for. I am enhanced CRB checked for lone working with vunerable people (that covers the teachers!!) and children by KCC already (I have a copy but you can contact KCC personnel to confirm this, as i know that's usually what is required) Any day is fine on that list and any time too, just let me know so I can book some time off. I would do this with Jules, but as she is due to give birth some time between 24th June and July 1st, it might not quite be the master class you are looking for (but it would cover the biology lesson that week and probably put them off having sex for at least a day!!) |

I have alot of expertise with Sibelius and Cubase software and obviosly with the piano. And can teach classical theory, jazz theory and orchestration. I am a member of the Musicians Union so I can get CRB checked.

Thanks for these so quickly, guys. Much appreciated. I emailed Kris to seek his possible input even before posting this but I haven't had a reply yet. I know he works with The Youth. Perhaps he's been building rafts with them on Bewl Water. In any case, I'm sure I've seen what's needed. Will mull over suggestions tomorrow. (Jenny - Yours is valued because you can tell I have difficulties in becoming a throat-coaching dame). Have just finished watching the second night of about four hours of FLOOD on ITV1. I'm sucked dry of all emotions like a sweaty sheet with burning post-Bandstand legs. Yet I realise, spookily, that I've just completely frittered away a portion of my life on this couch. I should have watched 28 Days Later for the 50th time instead. Kam. It's well tempting, that one. Like solemn hymns to New Zealand. Marcus - Thank you. I'll have to think on now and make a jigsaw with my oppos. Other manifestations of interest welcome. |

Chaps Without making that post four miles long, I do need to know: YOUR AVAILABILITY (PLEASE BE VERY CLEAR WHICH DAYS AND AM/PM ETC) And, obviously, Email preferred. Jenny - Very clear. But is that on all days, or just the one (etc)? Tell this lone, looked-after, vulnerable prof. Marcus/Shepz - More detail, please. KamDan: Irene - London. Available?

Wilco, Al. No problems. I was reminded that there is a theme for this project called THE SENSES, so I guess we put on Tommy on repeat for 96 hours. As long as things relate to THE SENSES in some way, it's a runner. Edited: ReallyBrown - Tue 6 May 2008 (11:03AM) |

I'm available anytime in July. I could offer teaching from beginners to advanced in piano, jazz and classical theory, Cubase, Sibelius, midi sequencing, song writing and improvising. I will need computers equipped with cubase or Sibelius, or another sequencing program for computer software teaching.
I will be teaching pop song writing using software as the platform. The students will be taught the basic structure of a pop song e.g. intro, verse etc… The students will be then put into groups to compose there own pop song. I will be providing drum patterns for different parts of the song e.g. intro drums, verse drums and fills along with a template of the song structure to use on the software. The students will be asked to write there own vocal melody, bass part and keyboard part using the software to record. Handouts will be given out on how to use the software along with example chords. The lesson plan will work a lot better if it is scheduled for after a workshop where students are taught basic chords etc…
If piano/live performance is needed I can put the students into groups with a keyboard each to play a different section of a orchestral piece or pop song. For example Group A will be playing the string parts, B wood wind etc… Or pop song with Group A playing the different parts of a drum kit for the drum section.

Put me down for any one session overall from any of the days offered. I'm not sure that made sense - did it??? |

Yes, Jenny. That makes sense completely. Thank you. The specifics help. I'll connect clearly with folk when things have moved on a bit. |

Good news, guys. It's on, and those of you in the posts above who expressed an interest are all welcome to take part. Most of EK1 - Denny, Andy Race, Andy Doble, Phil and I - and Andy Mack, plus Phil Baxter and his contacts, as well as some outside troupes, are likely to be - or will definitely be - involved, too. Bear with me for more info and more explanation soon.

Thanks for your email, Jools. This is looking very promising. No sweat about this needed, please. The emphasis is on participation and fun. Don't let my flippant stupidity put you off. It will be really good fun, this. Edited: ReallyBrown - Sun 18 May 2008 (11:30AM) |
