Last week we were also teaching daily workshops, which felt even more real now we've got a room of our own to teach them in, which comes complete with computers Dr Mark has waved his magic wand over - they're now fitted with extra RAM, sound cards and have all the software we need to broadcast and teach. We're establishing who the most passionate students are as well as welcoming new faces. The numbers started low per class at the beginning of the week - 2 or 3 - but climbed to around 6 by the end (6-9 per 2 hour class is our ideal). We'd never know which students were turning up for which class so had to freestyle a lot of the lessons, deciding what to do at the start of class as well as having to teach 2 or 3 different levels at the same time. During one lesson, Ariane started using her links and jingles in BPM and Junior got to grips BPM itself whilst Douglas and Fraser recorded and edited their first jingles. Couldn't have done it without the help of Helen Clegg - all round bad girl and ex-1Xtra Producer - who did a wicked job teaching the kids and who we're hoping will become a regular on the Parada de Lucas scene.
