Rapping or MC-ing Lively, musical and energeticRapping / MC workshops are a way of making Literacy and Poetry interesting to young people.In fact, writing and reciting Rap can make learning any subject fun. A basic session will involve the use of rhythm and rhyme, alliteration, metaphor and other techniques. Confidence is subtly developed, throughout, and we have been known to get even the shyest people performing in front of the class, or even the whole school. We have also taught Science and Geography through Rapping, with truly amazing results. Our ‘Rap for Revision’ workshops have been proven to improve exam results.
DJ-Workshops Beat Matching, Pitch Mixing, Scratching, Beat Juggling, Turntablism and Turntable Tricks, CD Mixing, performance aspects, and other skills. These Urban arts workshops are extremely popular, with participants coming back week after week to take part. They may work with whatever style of music they’re into: House, Hip-Hop, RnB, Pop and so on. This area has been integrated into curriculum areas (Music / Music Tech). For would be DJs, contact us for one-to-one DJ skills or small group tuition.
Graffiti Art If you want young people to get involved in art workshops, even those who would normally snub art. Or if you need to develop a piece of art that represents your centre or school, or to brighten up a part of your building, Graffiti art workshops are perfect for you. You will get a professional, trained and experienced artist, who can tutor your class, step by step, starting with lettering, and moving on to characters and more abstract forms. We can use Graffiti Art to embody a message or ethos that you want to get across; citizenship, anti-drugs, or social inclusion for example. Workshops can be done indoors without the use of spray paints.
Break-Dancing & Street-Dance fun, invigorating and exciting; enjoyed by boys and girls equally. Dance workshops are great for team building and performances. Those taking part may learn aspects of a routine step by step, which may eventually become one performance piece involving everybody. Confidence and self-esteem are enhanced, and this has been noted in our feedback forms on many occasions. Workshops teach Popping, Locking, Breaking, Up Rock, Floor Work and much more.
Music Production includes learning how to use music production programs such as Acid, Pro-Tools and Reason to make your own songs. Also, we teach people how to record, arrange and mix instrumental and vocal tracks. This is often incorporated in DJ and Rap / MC programs to make recordings of the participants work. This training has been used in academic institutions to encourage young people, otherwise disengaged, to take an interest in learning, and actually look forward to attending.
Nugent Education do offer a bespoke service to schools and youth organisations. All our workshops, activities and events, are structured according to individual organisation and participant needs. Many of our workshops may seek to reflect or teach various aims, objectives or skills, whereas, with others, it may be more about a creative experience, or simply a positive fun activity.
We aim to have, only the best workshop Artists/Practitioners (CRB checked & fully insured) on our books. All of our artists are freelance professionals, so in the final analysis, how a session is delivered is their responsibility. However, they are all experienced workshop practitioners, and accomplished in their given areas. Nugent-Education Limited encourages feedback from our clients, and aim to constantly improve the quality of our workshops, programmes and events.
