Artbeat Brecon is a new initiative, initially funded by the UK Community Renewal Fund which aims to provide music-based workshops and training for anybody interested in using music to enhance well-being, support community, develop good communication and leadership skills and promote healthy relationships.

Lifemusic Training
The Lifemusic Method
Developed and refined over many years by Rod, the Lifemusic Method is a well-tested and evidence based form of music making centred on improvisation which can be adapted and used both for established musical groups, such as choirs and orchestral groups or jazz ensembles and for community groups who will benefit from musical input and the extra-musical outcomes which music promotes.

The ‘artbeat project is now entering its second phase which we hope will lead to a variety of events and initiatives over the coming months. These include:

-Lifemusic Training – a well established 36-hour course for community musicians, social and healthcare workers, therapists, teachers, artists and anyone wishing to develop skills using the Lifemusic Method.
-Singing for Health – sessions for all regardless of previous experience
-Jazz Without Tears – monthly workshops for musicians wishing to develop improvisational skills in the jazz idiom
-‘Safe House’ Concerts – interactive performances bringing musicians together in live events
-Participatory Music in Hospitals, Care Homes and Day Centres
