What is The Studio
The Studio is an independent community organisation offering easy access to high quality recording, rehearsal, training and performance facilities with special emphasis given to unwaged people offered through subsidised prices. The Studio is a facilitator helping to engage the local population in music either as trainee, performer or spectator. It encourages participation in and enjoyment of music by all members of the community, particularly those disadvantaged people who have had little opportunity to experience and enjoy arts activities through lack of easy access or lack of money. It is a place where people can meet, create and develop their ideas and skills using professional equipment in a comfortable and friendly atmosphere.
