Cerddoriaeth/ Music Coleg Menai.

Diolch yn fawr iawn i'r band Celt am ymweld â'n stiwdio a chymryd rhan mewn gweithdy recordio gyda'n myfyrwyr. Roedd yn gyfle gwych i ddysgwyr ennill profiad byd go iawn trwy weithio gyda chleient allanol mewn amgylchedd recordio proffesiynol.

A huge thank you to the band Celt for visiting our studio and taking part in a recording workshop with our students. It was a fantastic opportunity for learners to gain real-world experience by working with an external client in a professional recording environment.

Yn ddiweddar, croesawyd BBC Radio Cymru i'n stiwdios am sesiwn recordio byw anhygoel.

Cafodd ein myfyrwyr y cyfle gwych i sefydlu, recordio a chymysgu perfformiad Live Lounge gan yr artist Malan a'i band, ac roedd y canlyniadau'n swnio'n anhygoel.

Roedd hwn yn brofiad byd go iawn gwych, gan roi cipolwg i fyfyrwyr ar arfer proffesiynol yn y diwydiant wrth weithio ochr yn ochr â pheiriannydd, cynhyrchydd a chyflwynydd y BBC, Mirain Iwerydd.

Darlledwyd y sesiwn ar BBC Radio Cymru a gallwch wrando yn ôl yma:

We recently welcomed BBC Radio Cymru into our studios for an incredible live recording session.

Our students had the fantastic opportunity to set up, record, and mix a Live Lounge performance by the artist Malan and her band, and the results sounded amazing.
This was a brilliant real-world experience, giving students insight into professional industry practice while working alongside a BBC engineer, producer, and presenter Mirain Iwerydd.
The session was broadcast on BBC Radio Cymru and you can listen back here:

A huge thank you to Malan, her band, and BBC Radio Cymru for making this opportunity possible!

Gig da iawn heddiw, gwych iawn./ Great gig today.

Roedden ni wrth ein bodd yn croesawu’r cyn-fyfyriwr Callum Lloyd-Williams yn ôl i’r coleg am sgwrs wadd wirioneddol ysbrydoledig.

Mae Callum yn gweithio fel peiriannydd Blaen Tŷ i Olivia Dean, ac mae hefyd wedi gweithio gydag artistiaid byd-eang gan gynnwys Dua Lipa a Zara Larsson. Roedd clywed yn uniongyrchol am ei daith o fod yn fyfyriwr i weithio ar frig y diwydiant cerddoriaeth fyw yn hynod ysgogol i’n dysgwyr.

Daeth hefyd a sesiwn Grammy byw Olivia Dean i mewn. Roedd Callum yn gyfrifol am gymysgu ei sioe yn fyw i filiynau o wylwyr ledled y byd. Cafodd ein myfyrwyr y cyfle prin i glywed pob elfen unigol o’r sesiwn a gofyn cwestiynau manwl am ei lif gwaith, ei benderfyniadau, a’i broses gymysgu byw.

Rydym mor falch o weld un o’n cyn-fyfyrwyr yn cyflawni cymaint o lwyddiant, a hyd yn oed yn fwy balch ei fod wedi cymryd yr amser i roi yn ôl ac ysbrydoli’r genhedlaeth nesaf (a’r staff hefyd!).

Diolch i ti, Callum, am roi profiad na fyddant yn ei anghofio i'n myfyrwyr.

We were absolutely thrilled to welcome back former student Callum Lloyd-Williams to college for a truly inspiring guest talk.
Callum is currently working as Front of House engineer for Olivia Dean, and has also worked with global artists including Dua Lipa and Zara Larsson. Hearing first-hand about his journey from student to working at the very top of the live music industry was incredibly motivating for our learners.
One of the standout moments was when Callum brought in Olivia Dean’s Live Grammy session, which he mixed live at the awards show to millions of viewers worldwide. Our students had the rare opportunity to hear each individual element from the session and ask detailed questions about his workflow, decision-making, and live mixing process.
We are so proud to see one of our former students achieving such success, and even prouder that he took the time to give back and inspire the next generation (and staff too!).
Thank you, Callum, for giving our students an experience they won’t forget.

Am ddiwrnod arbennig y cafwyd yng Nghystadleuaeth Cerddoriaeth Bop Sgiliau Cymru lawr yn Theatr Halliwell, Caerfyrddin.
Cawsom y pleser o fynd a’r band Resurrection o’r Diploma Estynedig Lefel 3 mewn Cerddoriaeth i gystadlu yn erbyn 10 band arall o bob cwr o Gymru.
Fe berfformiwyd dau gân wreiddiol a ‘cover’ ac o’r eiliad gyntaf y gwnaethon nhw gamu ar y llwyfan roedden nhw'n wych. Roedd y perfformiad yn un rhagorol, gyda sgiliau offerynnol anhygoel i fand mor ifanc. Cyhoeddir y canlyniadau mis Mawrth. Dyma fideo o'u perfformiad.
Diolch, Resurrection, fe wnaethoch chi’n wych!

What a day at the Skills Wales Pop Music competition at the Halliwell Theatre in Carmarthen!
We had the pleasure of taking our 2nd Year Level 3 Extended Diploma in Music band, Resurrection, to compete against 10 other bands from across Wales, and they did us incredibly proud.
They performed two original tracks and a cover, and from the moment they stepped on stage they absolutely owned it. The performance was outstanding, and the musicianship on display was unbelievable for such a young band. The results are announced in March. Here’s a video of their performance.
Thank you, Resurrection, you smashed it.

Yn ddiweddar ddaeth Stephen Edwards o'r cwmni Chynhyrchu Cyfryngau Cread Cyf i'r stiwdio yng Ngholeg Menai, Bangor, lle bu'n gweithio gyda'n myfyrwyr ail flwyddyn Lefel 3 ar recordio llais ar gyfer prosiect Reilffordd yr Wyddfa.

Cymerodd y myfyrwyr ran mewn sesiwn llais proffesiynol, gan recordio artist llais wrth weithio o sgript ochr yn ochr â Stephen a'r cleient, oedd yn bresennol yn ystod y sesiwn.

Roedd yn gyfle hynod werthfawr i fyfyrwyr gymryd rhan mewn sesiwn recordio stiwdio go iawn gyda chwmni cynhyrchu allanol. Diolch Stephen.

Recently we welcomed Stephen Edwards from the Media Production company Cread Cyf to the studio at Coleg Menai, Bangor, where he worked with our Level 3 second-year students on recording narration for a project about the Snowdon Mountain Railway.

Students took part in a professional voice-over session, recording a voice-over artist while working from a script alongside Stephen and the client, who was present during the session.

It was an extremely valuable opportunity for students to take part in a real studio recording session with an external production company. Thank you Stephen.

Gig arbenig i orffen tymor./ Great gig to end a long term.
