Aldeburgh Education has run training programmes for artists since 2001. We have now expanded this into a year-long programme for artists at a variety of stages of their development.

The programme will be constructed into a bespoke opportunity for each apprentice, combining theory and experiential practice under supervision from experienced practitioners. The programme will span across the department’s activity and will be shaped through regular conversation and appraisals between the department and the apprentice.

Through this programme we hope to develop and support artists who combine their lives as an artist with that of an educator, equipped to work in a wide variety of community or participatory settings.

2011/2012

Aldeburgh Education continues to develop its 10 year relationship with HMP & YOI Warren Hill, and specifically with Carlford Unit, through a year round programme of music and media based activity.

Across the year, Aldeburgh Education will create and deliver exciting music based projects working across the HMP & YOI Warren Hill establishment.

Young People will work with established and experienced artists to create new and original music, learning practical skills in performance, composition, recording and production. Projects will range from creating an album to live band performance.

Each project is crafted to provide positive learning experiences and encourages the development of vital life skills.

“I have worked with Aldeburgh on a few occasions during my time at HMP & YOI Warren Hill doing different projects; from creating a short movie to recording and producing an album.

I personally feel that working with Aldeburgh Music has helped me develop my skills as an all round artist and I think I can speak for most at the establishment when I say that Aldeburgh has helped a lot of us become more versatile whilst having lots of fun in the process.

Throughout my work with Aldeburgh I have met many friendly faces who have helped me to become a better artist and I can safely say that without them I probably wouldn’t be coming up with the diverse kind of content that I’ve been writing recently”. - Participant 2009 - 2011
