Sing, play, learn, recordThe Interactive Studio is a fully integrated and exciting addition within the BME offering visitors an opportunity to play on amazing guitars from the Gibson family, Slingerland drums and Baldwin digital pianos, a mixing desk and even a vocal booth sponsored by Sennheiser to add to the experience.
Visitors will be given step-by-step video tuition from artists such as KT Tunstall, Blur, Amy McDonald and the Magic Numbers with content supplied by award-winning website Nowplayit.com.
Simply follow the instructions on the touch screen and you wil be able to access lessons on each of these instruments. If you can master the Beginner and Intermediate levels, you can then try a Pro tutorial. This includes the real recording artists who will guide you through exactly how they play their songs.
