Resonance Ensemble is a free, fully-accessible 6-week music project for children and young people aged 14 – 25 years who live or go to school in or around Merton.
Live & Digital Music Making
Resonance will blend live performance using instruments, triggering, sampling and music tech in a welcoming and inclusive space. Resonance is about enjoying and exploring sound and music together. Inspired by the diversity of Soundsystem Culture and the energy of electronic dance music, we’ll be building an ensemble that truly reflects the people in it. Whether you’re a pianist, music producer, trumpet player, singer, or even if you are at the very start or your music journey – we’d love to hear from you. No prior experience is required.
Accessible Ensemble
Resonance is an open-access ensemble. We’re keen to hear from students who face barriers to access, particularly pupils who are registered as having Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities, including those with more complex needs. Access will be supported via adaptive instruments and technology
If you require logistical support (e.g. transport etc) to participate in Resonance, please contact: inclusion@mmf.org as MMF can support with any associated costs via its TEMPO Fund.
