London is the place for me

From Calypso music introduced through immigrant routes such as the Empire Windrush to the ‘Beat’ generation from the coast of California, London has been influenced by different cultures around the world. Students will find out about the different musical styles that have travelled to Britain from diverse countries such as Africa, India and Germany listening to examples of how they have influenced UK popular music.



 

Pop Culture

This history based workshop explores the significant youth movements that have emerged in the UK as a result of social change. Through an interactive pop quiz highlighting the music and fashions that have emerged from these movements, students will explore the social and political reasons for the rise of famous styles from Mods and Rockers to Hippies and Punks in the UK.




 

Explore IT

From the gramophone to the iPod this workshop gives students an opportunity to explore the objects that we have historically used to listen to music and how they have affected cultural and social changes in the UK. With a technology inspired soundtrack students learn how technology has adapted to our changing needs and the way that ICT influences our lives and the way we live.
