Be Scene and Heard started as a community project launched in 2021, funded by Youth Music, specificly for deaf people and musicians of all abilities. This was continued in lockdown when zoom classes were held for young people in Nottinghamshire to continue their musical educations even at the most challenging times. In 2022 the project was further funded by Peoples Health Trust, so again we had an opportunity for young people in Mansfield and Nottingham to access to a creative, inclusive space encouraging them to explore their passions for some of the following:
​
– Songwriting
– Recording their song or podcast
– Writing and producing a music video.
– Acting/dancing in a music video.
Working with people of all abilities, we have full studio set up and interpreters and BSL speaking mentors alongside Nottingham based singing teachers, established professional musicians, videographers, producers and industry professionalism.
We've been really busy this year running our 'Be Scene and Heard' project in Mansfield at myplace at Westfield Folkhouse Young People's Centre. It's been so inspiring for us and the participants and are looking forward to growing the project.

Big thanks to 'People's Health Trust' for all their support in making this happen and to Fred Glennister for the video.
