Art Beat Education Workshops

Being part of a successful creative experience that challenges limiting assumptions about learning abilities and enables individuals to recognise and express their creative talent

Art Beat offers an exciting range of cultural workshops in Music, Dance and Art to groups of all ages and abilities. We aim to make music and the arts accessible to all and develop a greater cultural awareness through practical fun workshops. Learn about the music and dance of Brazilian Samba, Cuban Salsa or create stunning banners using the ancient Indonesian art form of Batik. Learn about musical developments in western music such as Minimalism or traditional Indonesian culture by playing Javanese Gamelan instruments, develop ensemble playing skills and create your own compositions of sound explorations based on a wide range of influences.

Art Beat can develop tailor made projects specific to your groups needs including cross-curricular projects eg learning about science and geography through music or developing key communication skills, confidence and team work using NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) techniques. Workshops range from half-day taster sessions to extended residencies, regular weekly sessions or a complete project leading to a performance or procession. Projects may also be directly related to all key stages of the National Curriculum or exam syllabus. Art Beat has over 13 years experience of designing, co-ordinating and delivering projects. All the workshops are led by experienced professional artists with flexible times and dates available.
