    Session AssistantYoung Women's Music Project
     - Oxford, United KingdomFull Time
    This is a feminist project that aims to create a safe space for young womxn aged 14-21 to encourage and nurture a love for music - in a hope to close the gender gap in the music industry. Key practical Duties: Planning and delivering workshops focused on Music Production on Ableton Live and Logic Pro. Sessions covered songwriting, song structure, demonstrations of the use of the software interface, introduction to MIDI and Audio recording and an outline of the essential cables and equipment needed. Planning and delivering sessions centred around jamming using traditional instruments and experimental technology. This involved encouraging the participants to pick up an instrument by teaching basic riffs, chords, drum beats and encouraging creative expression. Planning and delivering visual art workshops: Zine making, T-Shirt making, Lino-Cutting and drawing workshops. Designing posters and merchandise for the promotion of the Charity. Setting up and packing down: stage, a backline and sound checking for live performances as well as taking part in some performances (e.g. playing in a Drum Troupe, DJ-ing) Spokesperson for the Charity during public events and running a merchandise stall. This significantly improved my communication skills and results were rewarding as it involved regularly converting young women from point of enquiry to regular participants accessing the project. Key Administrative Experience Creating written and detailed workshop plans. Register and Debrief duties as some participants were under 18 (DBS included) Liaising with other organisations and institutions for collaborative events via emails, phone calls and meetings. Minuting meetings and inputing ideas for promotional events and merchandise.
