LSO Discovery runs a number of practical workshops at LSO St Luke's for all Key Stages.
Music Technology Workshops
There are two music technology workshops available:
|
Remix the Orchestra
The class uses samples from the LSO's catalogue to create a new composition. Focusing on listening and arrangement, this workshop is beneficial to students from Key Stage 2 through to A-level. Using GarageBand software, students select loops from the LSO’s extensive recordings and combine them with other styles and genres. The software is extremely easy to learn, yet offers great creative and musical opportunities. The workshops can run for an hour and a half, three hours, or for a full school day. At the end of the session schools receive two audio CDs of their work, and you may optionally order extra CDS for the students. This workshop is designed for students with a wide range of musical abilities, and caters for groups of up to 20. Cost (all costs exclusive of VAT): |

Balinese Gamelan Workshops
For Key Stage 1 to 5
A gamelan is a set of bronze metallophones and tuned gongs indigenous to Indonesia, where it is played for temple ceremonies and to accompany dance, drama and shadow puppet plays. There are many different types; ours is from Bali. The music is formed largely of repeating patterns that can be quickly learned and played as a group by most participants regardless of age or musical experience. Sessions accommodate up to 30 children at LSO St Luke's.
Gamelan is great for developing:
