the studio and do the live sound for private clients
as and when needed.
I also ran a summer school music department for
them in august of 2006 where i had to also produce

VOLUNTEER WORK MADCAP ARTS COLLECTIVE

This is where i trained as a sound engineer with
Steve McDaniel then after training went on to teach
other young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
One of the main expectations of me was to build
confidence in others so they could perform.
I was filmed by the open university to train other
musicians how to teach others by these methods.
The arts collective came to an end in July 2006 when
funding for the music program ceased.
