The Ark is a unique cultural centre for children aged between 2 and 12 years old. The Ark introduces children to the joy and wonder of the creative arts, including music. All the music uploaded here has been created by children in our creative music workshops. These live demo recordings give children a taste of the process of audio recording and help them remember and a sense of achivement as they can share their musical creations with others. We hope you enjoy them also.
