SUMMARY:Folk Funk Fusion – Youth Music Project 16th August
DESCRIPTION:Sandy Hill Arts is delighted to be hosting the first Folk Funk Fusion Project Workshop on the 16th August in our large marquee on site in Corfe Castle.  The project, which is being funded by Arts Council England, Swanage Folk Festival, and Purbeck Youth Music, will give intermediate young musicians the opportunity to develop their sense of melody and rhythm by working with two Dorset professional musicians and experienced educators.\nThese workshops are set to continue throughout the rest of this year and into 2027 – details to follow.\nThe project suits young musicians aged from 7 to 18, who have some experience with their instrument (ie not for complete beginners – perhaps grade 3 and above) who want to develop.  All instruments are welcome, with the exception of percussion for this first session.  If you aren’t sure, apply below and Matt will talk through suitability with you.\nYou can apply to join the workshop by booking a free place below – Matt will then be in touch to discuss your experience and how to join the workshop.  Please make sure you have a parent or guardian’s permission to apply and make them aware that Matt needs to speak to you before you start.\nThis project is supported by Arts Council England.\n\nProject Leaders:\n\nMatt Tarling – Multi-Skilled Professional Violinist – has spent the last 3 decades turning his real-world stage experience into musical confidence for players of every age. After developing advanced classical technique as a teenager, his style was then shaped by hundreds of Irish music sessions and years of touring Europe with various Irish folk bands.\nHe specialises in “paperless,” accessible and inclusive teaching, true to the folk tradition of passing on repertoire by ear. Matt directs The Purbeck Youth Tradfolk Collective and performs 50+ concerts a year with top ceilidh bands. He brings this exceptional performance experience to every workshop, for the benefit of every young aspiring performer.\n\n\n\n\nwww.matt-tarling.co.uk\n07851727079 (Whatsapp friendly)\n\n\n\n\n \nRebecca Field-Bunney (Becs) is a multi-instrumentalist, jazz vocalist and music educator with over 20 years’ experience inspiring musicians of all ages. Founder and Musical Director of Castle Voices and VoiceWaves Youth Choir, she loves blending musical styles and creating energetic, inclusive performances that bring communities together through music.\n \n \n
