Saturday Programme Rooftop Academy

*NEW FOR AUTUMN 2021*

What is the Saturday Rooftop Academy?

Saturday Rooftop Academy is HMDT Music’s new ensemble band programme for young musicians. Offering high quality practical music-making, students will work with industry professionals to learn established standards, and how to arrange and compose both their own songs and existing material. They will also benefit from: the experience of a professional recording artist, learning about the music industry, how to plan a set and a range of performance opportunities.

 

Who is it for?

If you’re Year 9+, minimum Grade 4 or equivalent on an instrument or voice, and want to have fun making music in a band or group and explore music from different genres, cultures and eras, then this is the programme for you! If you are also taking or thinking of taking GSCE or A-Level music this will be a great opportunity to enhance your musical skills and knowledge.

*Entry is by audition for students new to the Saturday Programme*
