Workshops
Workshops are open to adults and children of all abilities. Please complete a separate form for all participants. The online form is for Percussion workshop, Ukulele workshop, Jazz and Improvisation workshop and DO RE MI Time sessions only. Recorder workshop and Pop Choir workshop are for invited participants only, so this form is not for them.
Percussion workshop - with Glyn Bush. Glyn works with Magic Drum, which have been providing drumming workshops since 2005. They work with groups to create music in the moment as a “drum circle”. This involves warm up games, rhythmic exercises and opportunities to take the lead, in order to create some amazing grooves, all facilitated by Glyn. They have a range of African, Brazilian and Middle Eastern drums and hand percussion.
The workshops are suitable for all and all percussion equipment is provided. |
Ukulele workshop - with Lucy Hackett. Lucy runs Ukebox and regularly runs ukulele workshops and classes for adults and children as well as often performing at weddings and festivals.
This workshop is suitable for all who already know at least a few basics on the ukulele. Please bring your own ukulele. |
Jazz and Improvisation workshop with Lucy Hackett and Steve Wilson. Lucy studied jazz flute at university and both her and Steve regularly perform with bands in the local area. This workshop is suitable for all instrumentalists of grade 1+ who want to have a go at learning the basics about improvising or improve their skills.

DO RE MI Time session with Rachel Greenwood. Rachel runs DO RE MI Time classes for pre-school children. These sessions are going to be suitable for all pre-school and Key Stage 1 children. They will use songs and rhymes to learn about some fundamental musical concepts in a fun and stimulating way.

Information about DASP Music Fest 2019We are excited to launch our new project this year; DASP Music Fest 2019! This will be a day-long festival, which will include performances from all of the DASP Ensembles, plus other invited groups. In addition, there will be workshops and other activities for all children and adults to take part in throughout the day including a ‘come and try’ session, music tech session, Big Sing and barn dance! There will also be food and drink available. The event will be free for all to attend and we hope that many people will come and spend a few hours watching and taking part in various different activities.
The festival is going to have a ‘space’ theme to tie-in with the 50th anniversary celebrations of the Apollo moon landings, particularly as students from DASP are heavily involved in the Dorchester Arts’ ‘Moonbury Rings’ event which will take place a few weeks later. So many of the pieces performed will be linked to ‘space’ in some way. |
The groups that will be involved with performances during the festival are as follows:
THS Big Band, THS Orchestra, THS Concert Band, THS Sax Ensemble, DASP Youth Orchestra, Stringalings, Training Windband, Stringendos, Clariphones, Brass Ensemble, Flute Choir, DASP Jazz Band, Beginner/ POW/Intermediate/THS Ukes, Guitar Group, St Mary’s Rock club, Treblemakers, Skylarks, Nightingales, Middle Schools’ Pop Choirs, THS Pop Choir, DASP Recorders and Combined First Schools’ Choir, Puddletown Brass Group.
