sound52 is being managed and delivered by soundLINCS in partnership with many other organisations - Funders and Partners.

sound52 - Lincolnshire Youth Music Action Zone

soundLINCS - Lincolnshire's music development agency - and Lincolnshire County Council have announced that the pioneering sound52 project has exceeded targets to deliver music workshops to 12,000 young people across the county over the last two years. Indeed the project has been so successful that soundLINCS has been promised further funding to continue sound52 for at least another year, extending it to areas of the community where opportunities live music-making are acknowledged to be scarce.

In addition to the workshops, which have involved pre-school children, their parents and carers within Early Years settings, transitional age children in after school clubs, plus teenagers in youth centres, arts centres and other community venues, the project has recorded and produced four CD's, staged two countywide gig-swaps, together with a major music festival at Butlins in Skegness, and, most recently a large scale participatory concert at Lincoln Cathedral, which saw a musical fusion between classical and contemporary genres. Crucially it has also provided a stepping stone on the road to a musical future for hundreds of young musicians all over the county - 80% of the participants had not been involved in any form of live music-making before their introduction via sound52.

In implementing the ambitious sound52 targets, nearly 100 Music Facilitators have been employed, enhancing accomplished musicianship with specific presentation and communication skills. This has created a base of expertise from which the County will benefit for years to come, with add-on advantages for the regions economy as a whole arising from the creation of employment opportunities and the investment in both professional development and supporting equipment.

sound52 - First Notes

First Notes is a series of music workshops for 3-5 year old children, their parents/carers and Early Years practitioners. soundLINCS, Lincolnshire Music Development Agency, in partnership with Children's Links is providing First Notes for Early Years settings throughout the county.

40 minutes spent with the children
40 minutes spent with parents or carers
40 minutes spent with Early Years practitioners

The residency concludes with a mini melt. This will involve the children, Early Years Music Facilitator, Early Years Practitioners and as many parents as possible. This Mini Melt is supported with posters and a certificate for each group.

Additionally the setting will receive a copy of a bespoke First Notes Resource Pack valued at £90!

The Resource Pack is a bespoke package of ideas, songs, games, musical activities and Early Years contacts for Lincolnshire.

The content and design of the resource pack is a collaborative process between the music facilitators, soundLINCS, Lincs PLA and the Early Years Curriculum Advisors for Lincolnshire. For more information on the resource pack, please click here.

The primary aims of the residency are to promote enjoyment and confidence in music making for all participants. The guiding principle is active learning, with each session having a core musical goal such as pulse and dynamics, supporting and extending work already being carried out on the Foundation Stage.

Each setting will be encouraged to conclude the residency with an informal celebration or sharing. This is known as the 'minimelt'. It may contain only the work of the children, or could also involve the work of parents/carers and practitioners.

soundLINCS is employing 28 music facilitators to provide First Notes residencies throughout the county. Each facilitator has a kit of instruments that is provided to them for the duration of the project and contains both tuned and untuned percussion. The choice of individual instruments to go into the kit has been a collaborative process between the facilitators, soundLINCS, Lincs PLA and the instrument retailers.

SoundLINCS is working in partnership with Children's Links and the Foundation Stage Curriculum Advisors to ensure that the sound52 project supports and extends working towards the Early Learning Goals within Early Years settings.

soundLINCS is working with Lincolnshire Early Years Development and Childcare Partnership, and Children's Links to deliver First Notes.

soundLINCS is able to offer this amazing opportunity to all non-maintained settings for free.

Due to recent developments, soundLINCS is now also able to offer this opportunity to maintained settings for the small price of £80.

If you are interested in taking advantage of this fantastic opportunity, please contact the office on 01522 510073, or email info@soundlincs.org

Music Sounds!

soundLINCS in partnership with the National Childminding Association will also be providing fantastic training opportunities as part of the sound52 project. The package of musical workshops and training will run in January and February 2006 and is open to childminders based in Lincolnshire. For more information on the Music Sounds! Project, please click here

Second Sounds is designed and implemented to sustain musical activities with the age group (6-11) in Lincolnshire districts where the NOF Arts Project has concluded. This programme is being delivered through a partnership with CfBt.

The vision underlying the sound52 and CfBT partnership is to try and create a sustainable future for Arts Activities in the transitions age group in the wake of the NOF Arts Project. Therefore September 2005 to March 2006 will see Second Sounds providing workshops in the Lincolnshire districts of East Lindsey and Boston Borough.

In addition workshops are also offered to Kids Clubs and Special Needs schools throughout the whole of Lincolnshire.

Each residency consists of 7 sessions of an hour's duration, which take place outside of curriculum hours. The Second Sounds programme is able to deliver a wide range of musical activities, ranging from African & Bhangra drumming to singing & songwriting.

sound52 will also be providing opportunities for the transitional age range to experience special genres of music-from Samba to the Tin Whistle!

A Second Sounds residency costs £100 for those Schools previously involved in the NOF Arts Project.

Second Sounds residencies in Kids Clubs and Special Needs settings are free of charge.

If you would like more information on Second Sounds, please contact the office on 01522 510073, or email info@soundlincs.org.

sound52 - HeatUp!

HeatUp! is a series of music workshops for young people aged 12-18 years old. soundLINCS, in partnership with Lincolnshire County Council and Youth services, is providing music workshops in CPM (Rock and Pop), Junk Groove, Vocal Production and DJ'ing. HeatUp! is also offering an additional strand entitled The Producers.

CPM residencies consist of up to twenty sessions of a two-hour duration, with a minimum of five young people. All the equipment is provided by soundLINCS and consists of two electric guitars, one acoustic guitar, one bass guitar, a drum kit, microphones, a keyboard and all of the necessary PA and amplification equipment, including a mixing desk.

Everyone is encouraged to join in, regardless of experience. Facilitators are able to go over the basics of each instrument, and also introduce more advanced techniques to experienced players.

Participants are encouraged to work together and achieve a band format, whereby they can learn cover versions, experience performing and also work towards writing their own material.

Junk Grooveis an exciting new project introduced in November 2004. After the success of the 'Junk' element of sound52 round1, the idea has been expanded to incorporate dance into junk percussion.

Devised in collaboration with lincolnshire dance, the programme will provide packages of 20 two hour sessions, each run by two professional facilitators - a musician and a dance worker. Each group will consist of between 10-15 young people who will experience the opportunity to fuse rhythmic movement with percussive sounds created using 'junk' materials.

Participants will also be able to create their own instruments from recycled and found materials.

Vocal Production is a continuation of the vocal workshops introduced in round 1, with a slight twist. Vocal Production covers every voice form available, including rap, gospel, classical, and the use of technology.

Participants will be able to discuss with the facilitators, the style of vocals they would like to develop and this will occur over twenty sessions with a group of around 10-15.

DJ'ing is the newest genre within the HeatUp! programme with the core sessions beginning in September 2005. The DJ'ing residencies will run for up to twenty sessions of a two-hour duration.

Teenagers with a yen for creating music are being invited to contact soundLINCS to register their interest in being part of the next sound52 Producers project. This project will work on three basic principles, Record, Edit and Create. Using professional recording equipment under the guidance of specialist music facilitators, the participants will visit music workshops and other venues around the region to make initial recordings, which will then be downloaded to computer and edited into a series of samples. These will form the basis of original sound tracks, to be turned ultimately into a CD.

The project is open to all young people aged 12-18 who live in Lincolnshire. Availability during May half term (29th-2nd) and at least one evening of the preceding week is essential. Please contact the sound52 team on 01522 510073 or email info@soundlincs.org to register your interest.

Following the huge success of last years RMX project Youth Music have announced their plans to do it all again in 2006! Keep your eyes posted here for more info.

The Producers project involves granting young people the opportunity to work with an experienced music producer, in a professional recording studio. Techniques such as sampling, mixing, editing and recording are introduced and allow participants to get a 'hands-on' feel. The Producers project is made available to the young people through an open application process, with adverts being passed to schools, Youth Centres and countywide news publications.

Each Producers project has a slightly different theme:

RMX '05

During May, June and July 2005, 12 young people form sound52 were offered the chance to remix tracks from commercially successful artists such as Kasabian, Faithless and Natasha Beddingfield, as part of a Nationwide competition to win state-of-the-art music making equipment. National charity Youth Music has teamed up with Apple UK and record giants Sony BMG to launch the project. The competition offered young people the chance to demonstrate their creative skills using Apple's latest music software, Garageband, and a series of 'loops' provided by Sony BMG

Anne Frank: The Music For Today

In October 2004, 22 young people from around Lincolnshire worked with five professional music producers to create tracks based upon the themes and issues inspired by the story of Anne Frank and the Holocaust. After a visit to the exhibition, Anne Frank: A History For Today, the young people were able to draw inspiration and after three days working together in a studio, had recorded and produced twelve original tracks. The tracks were then premiered at the Anne Frank Touring Exhibition when it came to Lincoln Cathedral in January 2005.

Wolds Words

In September 2004, two young people from Lincolnshire worked alongside a professional music producer to create two rap tunes, featuring funky samples and Tennyson's poetry as inspiration. The two tracks were premiered at the Louth Wolds Words festival-a celebration of reading, performance and writing.

Cre8

October 2003 saw young people from sound52 joining forces with the Corby and Kettering YMAZ to compose, record and play an original track. Confetti Studios in Nottingham played host to the budding producers for two days, providing professional engineers and sound technicians to aid the young people. The tracks from all 21 YMAZ's were premiered in November at a launch attended by Darius and Dr Fox.

The Producers

The first of the sound52 Producers projects brought together fourteen young people and five independent music producers to explore the potentials of technology based music making. In July and August 2003, each producer worked with a team of young people to collect audio samples from eleven HeatUp! music workshops. Each producer and their team took the audio samples into a recording studio and explored how they might be manipulated/extended for use in the composition of an original track.

On the 15th, 20th and 28th March 2006, 70 young people performed in 3 Countywide concerts, marking the end of the round 3 HeatUp! activities.

On the 15th March, Blackfriars Arts Centre in Boston played host to the following bands:

The 20th March saw the following bands perform at the South Holland Arts Centre, Spalding:

The final gig was held at on the 28th March at Trinity Arts Centre, Gainsborough and contained the following bands:

The Burn52 gigs were held in Arts Centre’s following last year’s feedback that the young people wanted bigger, better gigs.

The performances involved Rock and Pop, Vocal, JunkGroove and Development Worker groups.

Over 70 audience members attended each gig and each performance was thoroughly enjoyed.

Participant Feedback

“It was an awesome gig, thanks!”

“It was fab. Thank you so much!”

Sunday 13th - Friday 18th February

Over 100 young performers from all over Lincolnshire took to the stage during the evening of Friday 18th February to perform in 'ClassicCombo', a multi-genre participatory music event in Lincoln Cathedral.

Conceived and presented by sound52 - Lincolnshire's Youth Music Action Zone - ClassicCombo was intended as a 'celebration', marking two years of running community-based music projects with children, teenagers and their families all over the county.

The evening opened with a polished demonstration of JunkDance, performed by youngsters from workshops run by in conjunction with lincolnshire dance. The audience was also visibly moved by a large-scale audio/visual presentation inspired by the Anne Frank story, using original material created by young people during group composition, digital production and recording sessions.

The second half of the evening was devoted to the premiere of 'The Commission', a unique cross-genre composition especially written for the event and composed by sound52 musicians John Stafford, Mike Nicholls and Danny McCaughern.

The Lincolnshire town of Tattershall saw the ClassicCombo preparation week kick off, as Gartree Secondary School played host to four intensive days of rehearsals.

Sunday 13th February began with a run through of the commissioned piece for all ClassicCombo section leaders, and various musicians who were prepared to give up their Sundays for a free lunch! This was the first time the pieces had been performed by a live orchestra and the reaction to the music from those involved was extremely positive. After a successful day of playing, the equipment was set up in preparation for the descent of the CPM and JunkDance groups on Monday morning.

Monday 14th February began at 10:00am, when Gartree opened its doors to young drummers, guitarists, bassists, Keyboard players, and two JunkDance groups. After listening to a recording of the commission, the CPM players split up into sectionals allowing the individual instrument groups to learn their pieces separately. Elsewhere in the building, JunkDance was in full swing, with one group rehearsing a performance that had been developed over the course of their residency, and the other group composing and rehearsing a piece from scratch.

The presence of a professional photographer and video person added to the excitement of the day as they compiled a 'behind the scenes' look at the rehearsals, including action shots, group photos, workshop style footage and interviews.

The workload undertaken on this day was astounding, with both facilitators and young people going away with a feeling of satisfaction regarding what they had achieved. Bring on the orchestra!

Tuesday 15th February saw Gartree School looking slightly more crowded as the orchestral players, vocalists and pianists turned up to rehearse. In a similar format to the previous day, the piece was listened to, before the musicians divided up into their various sections and went into rehearsals, not to be seen again till lunchtime! In the main hall, it was time to witness what the CPM groups had been up to the previous day as the various sections were put together to run through the piece. By the end of the rehearsal, everybody was ready to go for the full run-through the next day!

Wednesday 16th February and the moment we were all waiting for! The whole day was dedicated to playing 'The Commission' through as a full orchestra and looking at the more technical elements of the piece, such as timing, watching the conductor, and counting a 247 bar rest! More importantly it was time to make the decision as to which McDonalds everybody would like on the Friday night! At 4:00pm it was a very tired yet excitable group of young people, leaving Gartree School. All they had to do now was wait. At 5:00pm it was a slightly more tired, yet just as excitable group of facilitators that drove away their equipment laden cars in the direction of Lincoln. Despite the rehearsals being over, there was still plenty of unpacking, carrying and setting up to be done!

Friday 18th February and it was really about to happen! The get-in the previous day had been extremely smooth and the Cathedral now represented a concert venue to be proud of! At 1:00pm, the young people arrived and were similarly impressed by the stunning combination of funky lighting, beautiful architecture and the vast array of technical equipment supplied and run by WIGWAM. The afternoon provided only a short run through time for 'The Commission' and the JunkDance and it wasn't long before the next performance would be the real one!

At 7:30pm, when an audience of approximately 500 people had taken their seats, ClassicCombo began……

"A fantastic evening. I am so proud of all the young people. Thank you to everyone who made this possible" - Dr Cheryle Berry. Director of Education and Cultural Services

"There is much talk about how bad young people can be. Tonight was wonderful and shows how good they are" - Councillor Chris Underwood Frost. Chairman West Lindsey District Council.

"Fabulous! - So professional. Brilliant Music, superb lighting, great videos (esp. First Notes). Whole thing amazing. MANY THANKS!" - Member of audience.

"Absolutely fantastic! - an incredible evening. The quality of music from such simple components has been astounding. A most uplifting experience from the orchestra-The timing! And what a great start for the children!" - Member of audience

BurnIt sparked into life, phoenix-like, from the glowing embers of Meltdown. HeatUp! participants highlighted in their evaluations a passionate interest in developing and recording original material. HeatUp! facilitators agreed that this would represent an excellent opportunity to develop the creative talent bursting from the groups.

BurnIt began in January 2004 when fourteen groups from 12 HeatUp! settings identified an original piece and continued to develop it. soundLINCS employed a Producer to visit each group and make eight track recordings of their piece. The pieces were mixed and mastered in a recording studio and soundLINCS compiled a CD that was burnt and distributed to all participants. Bands involved were:

In March 2004, the bands were given the opportunity to perform in three regional concerts entitled 'Burnit Alive'. This series of concerts gave the young people the opportunity to perform in front of a supportive and enthusiastic crowd of family, friends and soundLINCS workers.

The 10th, 11th and 12th June saw the rock youth of Lincolnshire come alive, as three Countywide gig-swaps were held for bands and Vocal groups involved in the HeatUp! programme.

A total of seven groups took part, performing at either Deeping St James Youth Centre, Spilsby Youth Centre or North Hykeham Youth Centre.
Bands performing were:

All groups performed a twenty minute set for an audience consisting of friends, family, sound52 staff and members of the public.

During 2003, sound52 commissioned two new pieces of music: Waiting For This Moment by the legendary Midge Ure and Samba y Mabmbo by the celebrated world musician Mauricio Venegas. Oasis kindly agreed to license their classic track Masterplan to the project.

The work provided by the writers was orchestrated and arranged by four sound52 facilitators especially for HeatUp! participants. Musical parts were created to suit the diverse instrumentation and broad range of musical abilities within the project. The parts were presented as pictograms and conventional score with both manuscript and tabbed versions.

HeatUp! facilitators met together in July 2003 to learn the three pieces and ‘test drive’ all the musical parts. The facilitators explored, developed and taught the parts to HeatUp! participants during workshop sessions in July and August 2003.

A team of twenty sound52 Facilitators met with twelve soundLINCS employees and helpers at seven am on Saturday 30th August 2003 at Butlins, Skegness. A logistical operation of military proportions was already underway! Seven vans had delivered fourteen sets of music equipment to be divided into three rehearsal venues.

Six buses and numerous cars were on route to Skegness carrying nearly two hundred young performers together with their families and friends. The performance required additional staging and lighting, sixteen track live audio recording, video and photographic recording. Invited guests representing funders and oartners were converging on Skegness from all over the Country, including the celebrated composer Mauricio Venegas.

The performers were traveling from all over Lincolnshire and represented twenty-four HeatUp! settings. They had all been working on the three Commissions at their individual settings during the previous two months.Meltdown rehearsals would be the first time that everyone had come together to play the pieces through. As if that wasn't complicated enough - many Vocalists and Junk musicians were playing in all three pieces!!

Meltdown was THE massive performance event of sound52 round 1. A huge logistic and artistic success that ran on time and brought tears to the eyes.Meltdown premiered three Commissions, ten Producers tracks, involved nearly two hundred partcicpants from twenty-four settings and attracted an audience of approximately five hundred. A double CD containing three live recordings and ten Producers tracks was created.

What the Audience thought….

"Well done everyone!! It was a fantastic day and I enjoyed every moment. The musical talent and creativity were outstanding". Dr Cheryle Berry - Director of Educational and Cultural Services, Lincolnshire County Council.

'Congratulations on a logistical triumph! Given how little technical and rehearsal time you had at Butlins, the event ran remarkably smoothly with excellent self-discipline from all the young people involved'. Katrina Duncan - YMAZ Co-ordinator, Youth Music.

'We would like to say a very BIG thank you for a fantastic day at Butlins. Our Youth Club only had three representatives, but what an experience they had! To work alongside other groups and musicians was a chance in a lifetime and one that they grabbed with both hands'. Youth Leader (SHDC)

Funders and Partners

Youth Music
Youth Music was established in 1999, with Lottery support of £30m for 3 years to fund and support participatory music projects for under 18s. The support is particularly focussed towards children and young people with least access to music making opportunities and usually occurs out of school hours.

Arts Council England is the channel through which the Lottery support is provided.

In April 2000, Youth Music Trustees discussed large scale programmes specifically to reach those who were exceptionally isolated in areas of high social and economic deprivation, or geographical isolation. These large scale programmes are called Youth Music Action Zones. The first award was made in October 2000.

sound52 was conceived by the Director of soundLINCS and the Arts Development Officer for Lincolnshire County Council. sound52 builds upon the success of previous projects undertaken by soundLINCS and was developed in line with information and advice offered by the project partners. It is being managed and delivered by soundLINCS in conjunction with Lincolnshire County Council. The project offers job opportunities and access to training for musicians from all over the county who have become involved as workshop leaders.

soundLINCS is in partnership with many organisations who are helping to provide sound52 for Lincolnshire:

Contemporary Popular Music (CPM) Lincoln

The CPM post is jointly funded by Lincoln City Council and Arts Council England (East Midlands). The CPM development worker for Lincoln is Maurice Mulligan, based at the soundLINCS office in Grantham Street, Lincoln. soundLINCS manages and supports the CPM worker in this project.

The Lincoln CPM post is one of 5 located across the East Midlands area. They are all part-funded by Arts Council England (East Midlands) and the Local Authority of the area. The 5 workers are known collectively as EmmNet formerly known as ‘The Network’; the other 4 CPM posts are located at Derby, Leicester, Nottingham and Northampton.

The CPM role is to support contemporary popular music, musicians and interested parties of all kinds of styles and from many different cultures. Working closely with local bands and individual musicians trying to develop a career in contemporary popular music. Artistes are offered the broader view of the music industry by giving support and advice on how the industry works, how to approach record companies, how to market the band, what to look for in contracts, how to get a good lawyer, and how to access funding opportunities.

EmmNet are contactable through their website where advice and contact details covering many aspects of the music industry are freely available. In addition to the free advocacy offered through EmmNet there is also an interactive web-based Juke Box. Subject to a quality check, artistes from across the region are encouraged to submit their recordings for inclusion on a regional play-list. Each time a track is ‘downloaded’it will accrue points and will move up and down the chart accordingly. Further details for this feature are available through or the local EmmNet worker.

Grantham Occasional Orchestra Workshop (GOOW)
