Music makes me feel…
We asked young people at The Glasshouse how powerful music is in their lives. The result? A celebration of all the incredible ways music shapes us – from building confidence and making new friends to simply finding joy.
The Glasshouse Studios
Whatever your sound, bring it to life here.
The Glasshouse Studios is your space to create—learn song writing and production, record with your tracks, hire a studio, or rehearse with your band.
‘For 1 hour 30 minutes, our only concern is to join together to make the music come alive; to listen, watch and harmonise… sometimes frustrated, sometimes laughing, until it all comes together and we can really enjoy it’
Mary, Sounds Good To Me singer
