| Quorn launches kids creative music website Marlow Foods, the manufacturers of the Quorn range, has launched an online music mixing website, encouraging creativity amongst 11-18 year olds, to celebrate the product's health benefits. The music mixing game helps to develop children's music skills and enhance their creative thinking. Available at www.quornmix.co.uk, the game enables kids to easily mix beats and rhythms from different music genres, by clicking a selection of tabs to create their own music tracks. Each track can then be played back and altered, allowing more sound effects to be added to enable the finished creation to be shared online with friends. Anyone can log onto the game, listen to other tracks for inspiration or experiment with their own sounds. To help promote healthier eating within schools, LEAs and school meal providers are trying to encourage children to try new, healthier options. The website features an exclusive competition, available to any children at a partnering school. Pupils who choose a Quorn dish at lunchtime are able to visit the website and enter their tracks to be in with a chance of winning an exclusive lesson with top DJ Filthy Rich, iPods, and music downloads, plus a mini-bus for their school. The Quornmix game can be played by anyone at www.quornmix.co.uk. Students at participating schools can enter the competition simply by logging onto the website and entering the promotional code they receive with a school meal containing Quorn products. To find out if your school is taking part in the competition, look out for details in your school canteen. Quotes Tony Davison, commercial manager of Quorn Foodservice, said: "We want to encourage healthy eating for all the family and persuade children to select a healthy, balanced meal at school lunchtimes. The Quorn range is perfect for creating healthy options on school menus, dishes that children enjoy eating can be created with a healthy twist – spaghetti bolognaise, korma, toad-in-the-hole are all firm favourites. Making sure that healthy food is enjoyable is key." "We wanted to speak to and engage teenagers in a fun way, so the mixing competition is perfect, fun and creative at the same time. We also wanted everyone to enjoy the game, so this is a great opportunity for parents to log-on with their kids and encourage them to create their own music."
