the premises music education programme
he Premises Music Education Programme is a registered charity based at the UK’s
most popular music studio complex The Premises. Established in 1996, the
organisation provides a range of training courses and workshops, giving
musicians of all ages, abilities and budgets the opportunity to work and train
in studios frequented by the likes of Laura Marling, Michael Kiwanuka, FKA
Twigs, Emeli Sande, James Bay, Roots Manuva, Sam Smith, Stormzy and Paloma Faith
to name just a few. The organisation started out running the most successful New
Deal For Musicians scheme in the country, giving a head start to many upcoming
artists. From there the Education Programme developed a series of regular
workshops including a Jazz Vocal and Recording Workshop, a Songwriting and
Recording Course with A-list master-class tutors and an annual Jazz Piano
Summerschool. The Charity works closely with Hackney Music Service Network and
local schools including Mossbourne Academy, Stoke Newington School, Petchey
Academy, Morpeth School, Bridge Academy, Cardinal Pole School and Haggerston
School. One popular activity is the Saturday Voice Jam, a unique opportunity for
young people to come to the studios, form vocal groups, improve their singing
skills, make recordings and put on roof-raising performances. LISTEN TO A VOICE
