Coventry's Centre for creative music making...
SoundLab is a centre for creative music making in partnership with the Coventry Music and Coventry University. The vision is to create a space for all young people to be creative in their music making, whilst seeking diversity in musical genre, pathway to music instruments, vocal styles and culture. Removing the barriers to enable all who wish to engage the opportunity to do so. SoundLab-Cov is for 11-18 year olds, who have a range of musical interests and styles including spoken word, dance, electronic, jazz, classical and more.
