Future Yard CIC

The Sound Check project was developed to provide young people with a taste of working in the music industry, covering topics such as sound, lighting, and promotion.

Despite working within COVID restrictions 7 participants completed the 12 week course culminating in a live event curated by the young people.

Outcomes

Evaluations from before and after the course showed significant growth in knowledge and confidence amongst all the participants.

“Managing and planning live events is something that I think I would like to go into in the future, and the Sound Check course helped me realise this”

“Gaining the skills involved in sound and light engineering was difficult, which made it all the more rewarding when I found myself able to successfully do the tech for a set of live performances from a local band 'Denio’.”
