Listen Up! is a series of FREE music-making workshops and activities for young people aged 10 to 14 in and around the Barton area of Oxford, delivered by In-Spire Sounds, supported by OCM and Oxford County Music Services.

The project is designed to give young people in Barton access to music-making activities, and opportunities to access music technology and work with professional musicians who can nurture their interests and talents in music.

Through the Listen Up! project, young people will get the opportunity to:

  • Work with a music teacher, local rappers and producer to use music technology to create their own songs from scratch
  • Learn the arts of sampling sounds and lyric writing
  • Gain skills in Music Production and Beat Making
  • Explore a collection of instruments, sounds and methods of music making 

Our May series of FREE music-making workshops have been postponed. 

Our next sessions of FREE music-making workshops will take place after the School Summer Holidays, 2025

The workshops are open to young people ages 10 – 14 (Years 6, 7, 8 and 9) that live in and around the Barton area. 

The workshops will run from 11am – 3pm each day including breaks and lunch will be provided. 

The workshops will take place at the Centre for Music, Bayswater Rd, Barton, Oxford OX3 9FF. Venue info
