Mac is back! The Crew Club has some new AppleMac computers in the IT suite andrecording studio.

The Apple computers are really resourceful andhelpful. They provide fun and knowledge and arereally high-tech. The one in the music room isamazing!

Some of the programs on the Apples are reallyhelpful like Garageband. It is really useful formusic rehearsals because of the vast array ofsongs and other files - and the fact that there areover 10 new computers to choose from!

Music video Pupils from the local Whitehawkprimary school took part in anafter-school music video projectat the Crew Club.

Over four weeks, the budding pop starswrote and recorded their own song “ManyThings” in the studio and made a musicvideo using green screen effects.

Participants also learned about lyric writ-ing, music styles, animation and film mak-ing techniques.

The finished music video will be shown atthe school and the club at a later date.
