Katy’s work experience Blog 2

 Hiya everyone,It’s my last day here at Ivy Arch and I can honestly say I don’t want to leave at all, its just such a pleasant place to be!Now I have met all the people that work here I can say they are all absolutely lovely and I love every one of them! They are really supportive and have taught me a lot whilst I have been here. I know the proper way of setting up all the rooms and turning them off; also have helped with the advertising side of things by taking flyers to lick music.I have also been offered to do the Mad 4 Music course, which is a course that goes on for a week in the summer for budding musicians to higher their abilities. For 5 days you get £100 worth of tuition each day for Bass, Drums, Guitar or Keyboards and Vocals and in the afternoon there are intensive song writing sessions where kids write songs or learn a cover or both. On the Friday, there is a gig for all the bands that have been formed to perform in front of their parents and anyone that you want to come along too. I can’t wait its going to be amazing!Thanks for reading,Katy x

Katy’s Work Experience BlogHey Guys!My name is Katy from Worthing High School and for my work experience I have managed to grab a spot at Ivy Arch Studios. It hasn’t fell short of my expectations in any way, I learned so much in just my first day. Learning how to use lots of the specialist equipment was a great experience and I can’t wait to hopefully give some of it a go. There is so much going on here in the holidays, some things that I already knew about and some that I didn’t. For instance, Mad 4 Music, I knew about it but I didn’t really know how much goes on, a good 6 hours of tuition! It’s a great environment to be in, the people areal really lovely that I’ve met so far, and have really made me feel welcome for my short time that I will be here.Thanks for reading!Katy x

Sing your way to a happy work environment !

Have you ever wondered why singers smile so much?

Do you smile when you hear your favourite song?

Singing is scientifically proven to make you feel good.

WHY?

Because when you sing you energise your body and that new fresh O2 brings in a sense of well being.

You can now have the feel good factor brought to you and your work colleagues, your department, even your Boss!

Ivy Arch Studios has now started to run Pop Vocal Team Building sessions for people just like you!

If you work in an office or department with up anything up to 20 others we can can give you the opportunity to record your own Pop song on CD!

Come and learn the basics of how a studio works, how artists make records. And do it with your own team!

Sounds like fun?
