5.9: Limitless Music Making

Katie and Kieran Szifris founded Mixtape Music Makers in 2021 to bring a new cross-genre way of learning and experiencing music to the North East. Here they talk about ‘musical gateway drugs’, gate keepers, being brought up in folk and opera, and how the formal ways children learn music can hold them back from stepping into their full musical selves. You can find out more about their programme at https://mixtapemusicmakerscic.com/ You can follow us on social media, and sign up to our mailing list at www.polyphonyarts.com/mailing-list for updates and news about Music Works and Polyphony Arts. Music Works is generously supported by Allianz Musical Insurance, the UK’s No. 1 musical instrument insurer.
