YOUNG people will be hitting all the right notes as they learn how to beatbox at the Kibble Education and Care Centre.

The innovative programme was formed after the Kibble Education and Care Centre teamed up with St Mirren Football Club and Creative Scotland.

The music lessons are designed to give youngsters in care the opportunity to learn about different instruments.

The expert tuition is being provided by Glasgow beatbox artist Bigg Taj. Taj has become well known for his appearance on ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent as well as coming eight in last year’s UK Beatbox Championships.

Taj said: “Many of the kids will have probably heard beatboxing before but never tried it.

“These tuition sessions will teach them the basics and to let them have a go themselves.

“Beatboxing has been a passion of mine for over a decade and I always love teaching young people some of the skills. Who knows, hopefully someone here will be inspired to take up beatboxing after today.”

Ross Paterson from St Mirren Football Club added: “The aim of the project is to provide music making opportunities for young people in care. With funding from the SPFL trust we are looking to deliver a 10 week programme to work." with at least 15 young people.

“We are trying to engage the young people through music and to hopefully lead into other activities the club can offer such as football coaching sessions.

“Collaborations like this with Kibble are a key part of our social mission at the club, and we are looking forward to more joint work in the future.”
