What does Noise Solution do? Do you remember as a kid how much it mattered when someone said you were good at something? How sometimes that changed how you felt about yourself? Imagine how much more impact it would have if you could see yourself being good at that 'thing' and if you could see other people telling you were good - especially when the rest of the world is probably telling you you're not doing the right things. That sums up what Noise Solution does. The evidence base and theory of change behind our work is very detailed, but what we do is actually very simple: •
We pair participants with professional Musicians (of the informal variety skilled at beat making, production and songwriting) either 1:1 or in groups.
•
Together, participant and Musician co-create a musical project in whatever genre the participant is into. We use freely available digital music-making tools to make the music important to the participant, quickly.
•
Musician and participant capture the highlights of each session using audio, photos, videos and text and develop an individual digital story or weekly ‘feed’ of their growing success
•
Participants also record a weekly re ection of their thoughts and feelings about the process.
•
We provide the platform and use the skills people already have with social media to do this - everyone captures their own developing story, re ections on it and shares it.
