Chartist Music Workshop

Step back in time and bring history to life through music! In this fun and creative workshop children (ages 8-13), you’ll learn about the Chartist movement – the people who fought for fairness and democracy – and use their inspiring stories to write your own songs.

Working together, you’ll explore lyrics, rhythms, and melodies, then record your music using professional equipment. No experience needed – just bring your ideas and imagination! Participants need to attend both sessions to complete the workshops and get the full music creation and recording experience.

Workshop is over two days on Oct 29 and 30 from 10:00 to 13:00

By the end of the session, you’ll have created and recorded an original piece of music inspired by the Chartists, combining history and creativity in your own unique way.

Age group: 8–13 years

What to expect:

• Learn about the Chartist movement in an exciting, hands-on way

• Write original lyrics and music exploring themes of Chartism with the help of experienced musicians

• Record your track and take home a copy of your creation with the opportunity to perform your song as part of the Newport Rising festival

Free ticket required / Tocyn am ddim yn ofynnol Ewch yn ôl mewn amser a dewch â hanes yn fyw drwy gerddoriaeth! Yn y gweithdy hwyliog a chreadigol hwn i blant hŷn, byddwch yn dysgu am fudiad y Chartistiaid – y bobl a frwydrodd dros degwch a democratiaeth – ac yn defnyddio eu straeon ysbrydoledig i ysgrifennu’ch caneuon eich hun.

Gan weithio gyda’n gilydd, byddwch yn archwilio geiriau, rhythmau a thelynau, ac yna’n recordio’ch cerddoriaeth gan ddefnyddio offer proffesiynol. Does dim angen profiad – dim ond dod â’ch syniadau a’ch dychymyg!

Erbyn diwedd y sesiwn, byddwch wedi creu a recordio darn gwreiddiol o gerddoriaeth wedi’i ysbrydoli gan y Chartistiaid, gan gyfuno hanes a chreadigrwydd yn eich ffordd unigryw eich hun.

Grŵp oedran: 8–13 oed
