Lesley's Behind the Scenes Prep for School Projects
This lovely little video is from one of our Associate Musicians, Lesley with some behind the scenes prep for school sessions for our LEARN programme. You can see here she is making fun little backing tracks for young people to jam along to with ThumbJam using Figurenotes colours. These kinds of tracks are fantastic in creating relaxed atmospheres in sessions and offering plenty of space for exploration.
Video Visual Description - Laptop with Logic Software open with several tracks, and in front an iPad with the app Thumbjam open. Lesley's hand is running up and down the app to play the notes on the app along with the backing track.

Jessica Teaches Our Associate Musician A Song
Young people who take part in #DMSLearn projects have the opportunity to express themselves through music. 🎼 Our Associate Musician, Abi, talks about how Jessica taught her a piece of music:
For weeks she had been singing this tune to me and playing bits of it on the keyboard, every time we worked together. Then she would gesture for me to play it but I had no idea what it was. She always seemed a bit frustrated that I didn't know it, so I asked her to teach me how to play it. I definitely didn't get it all right! It was my first time trying but I just love how delighted she was when I picked some of it up. I guess that was her way of communicating her music with me.
This project was funded through Aberdeenshire Council from Creative Scotland's Youth Music Initiative Funding. Live Life Aberdeenshire #YMusicMatters
