Discover Snape Days (January & February 2005)
Ten Discover Snape Days took place involving thirteen
schools and 342 Key Stage 2 pupils
Discover Snape Days provide the opportunity for school
groups to discover Snape Maltings Concert Hall inside and out and to experience
its magic through associated creative work. A morning of backstage and site
tours take place, looking into the past, present and future in terms of the
life of Aldeburgh Music and the concert hall.
A creative writing workshop follows, offering the chance
to let the creative imagination flow. Then, working creatively with the experiences
of the morning, a performance is produced on the main stage.
Pupils all had hands-on opportunities to learn about
lighting, sound and recording equipment, as well as experience of stage management.
Participants have been encouraged to continue to develop
their work back at school and a specially commissioned pack has enabled this,
which you are now able to download from the link below.
By taking children out of the classroom and into the concert hall, Aldeburgh
Education makes the connection between learning music and performance.

Focus on Work with HMP & YOI Warren Hill Aldeburgh has just finished its fifth year of what started as a three-year
initiative with Carlford Unit – a Section 53 Unit for juvenile offenders
aged between 15 and 18 – developing and delivering high-quality arts
projects. The initial years' work was funded by two awards from the Monument
Trust and the J Paul Getty Jr Charitable Trust, with additional funding from
HMP & YOI Warren Hill. However, since then, the prison agreed to fun the
initiative taking a year at a time, with a view to continuing the work developed
within Carlford, as well as starting a second strand with other juveniles
in four more Units at Warren Hill.
There have now been many projects that have taken place.......
