Bounce Education is pleased to deliver the Music Tution and Film Workshops on the exciting new Tuned In Project, funded by the Big Lottery. We're working with young adults with learning disabilities, giving them training in the creative arts to help them reach their potential.

As well as learning music software, they are currently writing and performing their own full length album! Check out their second fantastic song 'Own Way'. This lot played, sang and programmed everything!

As part of the Lisburn In Focus initiative, we had the pleasure of working with a young group in an ultra fast-paced, one day event. We were really impressed by how keen they were to get stuck in to their first ever song... Rock The Party!

Reach Out (Tuned In)

The Rwandan Dream project – How did we make this happen? Essential financial support from The Executive Office through Mid & East Antrim Borough Council’s Good Relations Programme. CRAIC NI developed the diversity training course. Bounce Culture set the music tones but the key ingredient, the youth of Waveney, one of the most energetic, committed youth groups we have had the pleasure of working with. 8 young people, 6 sessions, 2 practices, 1 performance with very impressive results! 

Dan Acheson was on song writing duty, but lyrics were very much from the Waveney crew, inspired by moving accounts from Pelagie Buchanan, a survivor of the 6 day Rwandan genocide in 1994.

Connor Dougan brought the digital technology, working with participants on Abelton software to produce beats and bass lines, with participants very keen to stay within the Afrobeat vibe which is central to Bounce Culture! 

Musician and inspirational speaker and African Grammy Award winning musician, Jean Paul Samptutu joined the group to write and teach the group Rwandan call and response lyrics before perform live alongside the younguns at the end of project gathering.  

The Rwandan Dream Programme was developed by diversity training organisation, CRAIC NI and commissioned by Mid and East Antrim Borough Council’s Good Relations Team, supported by The Executive Office through Council’s Good Relations Programme.

The Programme uses music as a tool to learn about the impact of division and aims to show that with respect and mutual understanding, a shared space, better safety and a society free from hate, can more easily be achieved.

Inspiring young people, inspiring stories, inspiring results.

Brand New Day

We had the pleasure of working at every MENCAP location in Northern Ireland. This organisation does fantastic work for young people with various challenges, so this was a biggie for us. This song is the culmination of 6 workshops, in which we guided our amazing participants in writing a song, which is about longing for someone to come back. 
Deep stuff, and well worth a listen!!

Give Me a Reason (MENCAP) July 2012

Bounce Education is currently conducting a mammoth 16 week program with Foyleview School, Derry/Londonderry, where the students will learn about Music Making, DJing, Video Production and Event Management. The project will culminate in a performance, organised entirely by the students, where they will perform their very own music and video show. 

We've just finished the Music Making part of the program, and after 4 workshops, these uber-talented teens have written a song that means exactly what it says….Just Go Crazy!!
