GLOBAL STAR VISITS STUDENTS Global star Ed Sheeran surprised young, aspiring musicians at the iconic Red Tape Studios and Hillsborough College in Sheffield last week. The Shape of You star met with young people to speak about their experiences and their ambitions for their careers. While visiting, Ed met with young people who work with TRACKS at Sheffield Music School and students from Hinde House and All Saints Schools, supported by Sheffield Music Hub. He heard some of their original work, learned more about their aspirations and how the music services in the city support their ambitions of breaking into the industry. Tracks offers a music-based alternative provision for secondary age children in receipt of free school meals or for looked after children. The students have access to a full suite of recording studios, providing them with the opportunity to
learn new skills in song writing, production, rapping, singing and more.
Ed also took part in a special performance with a number of young musicians who were thrilled to get the opportunity to sing alongside the Grammy Award winner. While visiting, Ed offered the students advice about the industry and answered a number of questions they had. As well as meeting young people, he was able to speak with the dedicated staff at the Sheffield Music Hub and Tracks as well as a number of music teachers from Sheffield schools. They spoke about the great work taking place in Sheffield despite significant challenges in music education due to a reduction in public service funding. The surprise appearance was organised by the Sheffield Music Hub team at Sheffield City Council.
