Yesterday Henry Hall, 19, and Harry Howard, 20, were teaching a group of young teenagers how to create and edit music on computer music software called Reason 3.

The young teenagers were composing their own music and recording them onto the computer.

In the computer room the six young teenagers were composing their own tracks using USB keyboards. They were recording and editing until they had the finished piece.

We spoke to teacher Henry Hall who said: "We are teaching the students how to create their own music.

"We want to show them how much fun it is to use computers to make music."

Everyone in the room seemed to be enjoying themselves, even the teachers.

We looked at the software which looked quite complicated to use. Students seemed to be getting on easily without needing hardly any help. It seems that computer music is a great course here and it's enjoyed by many.
