The Ableton Push 3 has quickly become a key part of our weekly youth music sessions at Dewsbury Moor Sports Club. YY&M Music Leader Rob Pearson explains, "The Push 3 has been giving young people a fun, hands-on way to create beats, experiment with sounds, and jam together." 

Bought with a generous £5k donation, the Push (and a range of other new equipment) has been allowing many more young people to get to grips with music production and music technology in ways that enhance their skills and their confidence levels across the board. Rob also collected the thoughts from others connected with our 'Moor Sounds' sessions...

Tyler, 13, shares, "It feels like I'm playing a huge instrument when I use the Push. I really enjoy hitting the pads and hearing my beats come to life."

Beau, 15, appreciates the collaborative side of the sessions: "It’s great how we can all make music together. The Push lets us try things out without worrying about making mistakes."

Angel, 13, says, "At first, the Push felt a bit unfamiliar, but the more I used it, the more fun it became. The leaders showed us some cool tricks that made it easier to use."

Noah, 12, sums up the vibe of the sessions: "It’s like magic when we create a track together. The Push makes it easy to make something we can be proud of."

"The Push 3 has been giving young people a fun, hands-on way to create beats, experiment with sounds, and jam together."

YYM Music Leader Ella Greenwood adds, "The Push 3 has really helped the young people explore their creativity in new ways. It makes music production feel more approachable and interactive, and they’re enjoying it a lot."

Moor Sounds will continue until the Christmas break in 2024.
