Sound Lab is a brand-new, high-energy creative music hub developed by Beat This for children and young people aged 6–18. Forget everything you know about dusty music rooms and boring scales, Sound Lab is an inclusive, hands-on space where young people don’t just learn music; they create it. Whether a participant dreams of becoming the next big music producer or the drummer in a garage band, this is their ultimate laboratory.

We believe that music-making should be genuinely accessible. Many young people face barriers in traditional music education, which is why Sound Lab is designed to give them the exact tools, gear, and confidence they need to express themselves, find their fluency, and discover their unique musical voice. From mastering modern music technology to collaborating with peers, the project prioritises creative ownership, experimentation, and fun.

Designed for children and young people aged 6–18, Sound Lab is an inclusive, hands-on music programme where participants can learn to play instruments, produce music, write songs, record in a professional studio and build confidence in a fun, supportive environment.

The good news is that Sound Lab is now up and running, with regular workshops and sessions continuing throughout the summer at no cost to you!!

Young people from across Peterborough came along to explore the studio, try out instruments and music technology, meet the team, and experience first-hand what Sound Lab has to offer. It was brilliant to see so much enthusiasm, creativity and excitement from everyone who attended.
“These sessions are so much more than just music lessons—they're a place where children can be creative, make friends, express themselves, and develop a lifelong love of music in a supportive and encouraging environment. I can't recommend them highly enough. If you're looking for a fun, enriching activity for your child, this is it!” – Parent of participant.
