Students from the Creative Music Technology programme at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD) collaborated with the Pembrokeshire Music Service to record two talented rock and pop bands.
The recording sessions took place at Haverfordwest High VC School, providing young musicians affiliated with the Pembrokeshire Music Service an opportunity to professionally capture their original compositions.
Dr David Bird, Lecturer in Creative Music Technology at UWTSD, said:
“It was inspiring to witness music being supported in innovative ways beyond the classroom. There is an incredible pool of talent emerging from Pembrokeshire, and we are privileged to have recorded these musicians at the start of their musical careers. Our students also gained invaluable experience, making this an exciting opportunity for everyone involved.”
Miranda Morgan, Pembrokeshire Music Service Coordinator, said:
“We are extremely grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with the music technology staff and students from UWTSD.
“The entire day was an enriching experience for our rock and pop ensemble pupils, who not only enjoyed recording their original works but also gained insight into music technology and the recording process. We look forward to future collaborations.”
Philippa Roberts, Head of Pembrokeshire Music Service, said:
“Pembrokeshire Music Service is delighted to have partnered with UWTSD. The experience was invaluable, and our students greatly benefited from the expertise of skilled tutors and musicians. A special thank you to the Pembrokeshire music tutors for their dedication and encouragement in nurturing our aspiring rock musicians.”
Plans are underway to further develop this collaborative partnership, with workshops focused on Music Technology in the pipeline. The workshops will aim to inspire and equip young musicians with the technical skills needed to navigate the evolving music industry.
