- Introduction to Documentary making: Learn how to make an interesting documentary, taking in interview techniques, camerawork and picking a subject
- Song and lyric writing: Pick a genre, pick a theme, choose some instruments/technology and make music. We’ll also work on developing lyrics and using our voice.
- Music technology and production: We’ll use iMacs and MacBook Pros with the latest music technology, studio microphones, various hardware (including drum machines and samplers) to make music.

- Cajon for beginners: The cajon (a Peruvian percussion instrument made up of a large, six sided drum) is becoming a very popular instrument as it is powerful, adaptable and easy to learn. Each participant will have a cajon as you’ll learn basic rhythms and do some group jamming.
- World Rhythms: Using a selection of unusual percussion we will explore the different sounds and rhythms from around the world and create a percussion ensemble.
- Making music with iPads: Each participant will be given an iPad and introduced to a selection of music making apps. With apps such as Garageband, Thumbjam and Audiobus we are able to write, record, improvise and share music, all from the interface of the iPad.

Wymondham is generally a very lovely town with a lovely abbey (sometimes they have tower open days where you can find out about the bell ringers).
