Soundjunction

Young people in the UK are being given the opportunity to create and remix music in order to inspire them to learn more about different types of music. The website, Soundjunction, has extensive video clips and audio for teenagers to listen to. In addition, there is some original music created for the site by Jason Yard, Tunde Jegede and David Horn.

"The essential basic idea was that it had to be a resource that would allow people to learn through listening, through creating, through discovery, rather a didactic written resource," said Derek Richards, project coordinator, from the Associated Board of the Royal School of Music.

The project has been backed by Culture Online, a part of the UK’s Department for Culture, Media and Sport, set up to broaden and increase participation and access to the arts and creative industries.
