Creating opportunities for young people whilst supporting artists and creators through professional recording services.

A professional recording and music production studio designed to inspire creativity, build confidence and create meaningful opportunities for children, young people and the wider community.

Whether through our funded Future Beat Makers programme, targeted interventions or commercial studio hire, Urban Park Studio is a place where music becomes a catalyst for growth, connection and positive change.

Why we created Urban Park Studio

Urban Park Studio was created from years of working alongside children and young people who often found it difficult to engage with traditional support.

Again and again, one thing stood out.

Music.

For many young people, music became the activity that broke down barriers, built trust and encouraged conversations that may never have happened elsewhere.

Rather than simply building a recording studio, we created a creative intervention space where young people can express themselves, develop practical skills and discover talents they may never have realised they had.

Today, Urban Park Studio brings together mentoring, creativity, music production and professional recording within one inspiring environment.

Why Music Works

Rather than simply teaching production skills, Future Beat Makers helps young people to:

  • Build confidence

  • Improve communication

  • Develop teamwork

  • Learn transferable digital skills

  • Express themselves creatively

  • Explore careers in music and media

  • Build aspirations for the future

Future Beat Makers

Future Beat Makers is a two-year Youth Music funded programme created to make professional music production accessible to children and young people who face barriers to opportunity.

Developed by Together We Make A Difference CIC, the programme combines music production, mentoring and creative expression to help young people build confidence, develop practical skills and explore positive futures.

Young people work alongside experienced music producers and mentors within a professional recording environment, learning everything from beat making and songwriting to recording, production and creative collaboration.

Why we created Future Beat Makers

Future Beat Makers is designed to remove barriers and create opportunities for children aged 6–18, with an ambition to engage 200 young people over the life of the project.

  • Disengaged from education

  • At risk of exclusion

  • Living in care

  • Attending Alternative Provision or PRUs

  • Experiencing social or economic disadvantage

  • Interested in music but unable to access professional facilities

For many young people, traditional interventions don’t always capture their interest.

Our experience showed something different.

Time and time again, music became the activity that young people naturally gravitated towards.

Rather than expecting young people to engage with support first, Future Beat Makers uses music as the starting point, creating genuine relationships that open the door to confidence, learning and personal development.

Young People have opportunities to:

  • Produce original tracks

Our newly established multi-purpose studio is always looking to expand our suite of sound tech, which currently includes:

  • Professional-grade Microphones

  • Speakers and mixing decks (mixers)

  • MIDI controllers

  • Soundproofed recording area

  • Vocal booth

Recording studio for podcasting

Our multi-purpose sound studio is also set up for recording podcasts and radio-style content.

If you’re a young person with something to say – or perhaps you want to learn how to record podcasts alongside a professional engineer – reach out to the TWMAD team.

While we are focusing on providing studio time to the young people we support through our organisation, we’re also planning to provide production slots for all podcasters – so watch this space.
