Welcome to our Voices & Choices project page. Have a look at the music and film created by the young people during the project and read about the research and skill-sharing that has taken place.
This has been a Youth Music Funded project supporting children with complex needs and Children Looked After to create their own music and sounds, through improvisation and composition sessions. We aimed to work in a way and in environments where the children’s creative needs came first and they felt valued.
For more information about how we are now working in lockdown mode, please get in touch.

As part of BlueJam Arts Voices and Choices project we have been working with Grasmere Class at North Lakes School, all of whom have complex learning difficulties. We have been working with a poet who is layering our words over our music, with everything we are doing themed around trees. Here is artist Kate Brundrett drawing our Tuna Tree for us during a special outing to her Morland Studio.
