Beatboxing workshops appeal to everyone! You don’t need any musical knowledge to be able to take part, just a willingness to participate. By taking part in something different and unusual it’s easy to listen, stay focused throughout the sessions, and build self-confidence. These workshops have been into schools, youth clubs, businesses, music festivals, promotional events, carnivals, theatres and even in the street!

Each workshop has an easy to follow step by step structure keeping everyone involved engaged and the activities involved are fun and enjoyable.

…In Music

Beatboxing can be used in ways to help the development of new vocal skills and  techniques, working within groups and musical understanding. By structuring the workshops in a certain way it can help the understanding of:

  • Song Structure
  • Time Signatures
  • Tempo
  • Musical Notation
  • Singing and Vocal Techniques
  • Listening to Individual Instruments
  • Working in Groups or a Band
  • The Use Live Sound Equipment

all WITHOUT being able to play any instruments beforehand or having any musical knowledge.

…In Drama

Beatboxing is now taking a step into a much more Visual art form. Using the voice to create music and sounds, adding actions and auditory environments can enhance it as a performance. By visually ‘mixing’ and ‘scratching’ the actions are just as important. Even the use of sound effects such as trains and horses can be created to produce an amazing visual image. It can make a huge impact on students’:

  • Creativity and Innovation
  • Stage Presence
  • Physical Theatre

A typical workshop includes a relevant warm up and ice-breaker games if necessary. A basic description of what beatboxing is, the history and background behind where it came from, and many of the techniques and tricks involved. Everyone is given the chance to have a go using the equipment and microphones provided and we even encourage a performance in front of the group at the end of the session. With many of the activities being practical and engaging everyone involved will enjoy being a part of it.
