A COMMUNITY arts group has delivered iPads to keep reaching people in lockdown through video call sessions.

Beatroute Arts, which works in Balornock, has delivered technology to allow families to take part in Zoom jam sessions together.

Jenny Reeve, Director of Beatroute Arts, said: “Music is a great way to bring people together and group learning is a great way for young people to learn and develop music alongside other key skills.

"Quite often, they learn the fundamentals including numeracy, literacy, listening skills and working as a team before they even pick up an instrument.

“Take a Bow has been the last project to transition online because we have a lot of young people and families for whom English is their second language. We didn’t want to resume the project online until everyone could join in, which we have finally done.

“The reaction has been great – parents have been especially positive. The online sessions give everyone something to look forward to and those that need it have instruments at home so they can keep practicing.”

The group reaches over 750 people in some of the poorest parts of the city with a core team of five helped by 18 freelance creatives.
