sound is collaborating with pianocircus on this exciting six-month education project. Keyboard Collective is designed for secondary school pupils to develop compositional and ensemble skills for multiple keyboards. It aims to reinvigorate classroom practice with new approaches to keyboard use and technology. Five schools will be involved - two from Aberdeenshire and the Highlands, and one from Aberdeen City. The project will start with a performance at the Beach Ballroom on the 28th October, will involve workshops and mentoring sessions over 6 months, and will finish with a final performance in May 2010.
