MAKING WAVES is Back: A Free Youth Music Project for Ages 13-19.

Updated: Oct 21


Looking to level up your music game? Whether you're into beat-making, songwriting, or live performance, MAKING WAVES is the place to be. ICM's free youth music project is back, and it's open to anyone aged 13-19 who’s ready to take their music skills to the next level.



What is MAKING WAVES?

Making Waves was created to give young people a space to explore and develop their musical abilities in a collaborative and creative environment. From music production and DJing to live performances, this free youth music project helps participants grow their talents and step outside their comfort zones. It’s not just about learning technical skills but also about building confidence, finding inspiration, and connecting with other young musicians.


As part of the programme, participants will be working towards an exciting Battle of the Bands fundraising gig on Wednesday, 4th December at The Smokehouse, one of Ipswich's most popular live music venues. Tickets are just £5 – a total bargain to witness the future of Ipswich's music scene.

Why Making Waves matters

Music has the power to transform lives. For young people, it’s not just about expressing creativity but also about enhancing mental wellbeing. Engaging in musical activities can help improve mood, reduce anxiety, and boost self-esteem. Whether it's writing lyrics that express your feelings or producing beats that reflect your state of mind, music provides a unique outlet for self-expression.


When and Where?

Making Waves runs every Wednesday from 16th October to 4th December, at South Street Studios, Ipswich. The sessions are led by experienced tutors who bring in local musicians and offer exclusive pre-gig interviews at The Smokehouse with performing artists.

Whether you’re into producing beats, songwriting, or performing, Making Waves provides a supportive space to develop your skills.



Don’t Miss Out!

If you’re interested or know a young person who might benefit from this opportunity, get involved! Making Waves is made possible through generous funding from NCS, ensuring that all young people can participate, regardless of background.
