Welcome

We are committed to providing inspirational music opportunities that are a source of joy, self-worth and achievement. We offer progression routes that are affordable and inclusive for all.

We work in a diverse range of educational settings including secondary schools, pupil referral units, and special schools. Our main teaching is delivered in primary schools and is aligned with the National Plan for Music Education – offering schools bespoke packages where they can choose from whole class ensemble tuition and hourly paid instrumental tuition for small groups and individuals.

By providing diverse music making opportunities including ensembles and performances, we support young people to contribute to the cultural life of our region.

We work closely with other music hubs through the Music Education Hubs of the East Midlands (MEHEM). We also collaborate with arts and culture organisations across the city, including Nottingham Contemporary, Nottingham Playhouse, Nottingham Youth Orchestra, Baby People, Nottingham Trent University, Albert Hall, YMCA Digital, Confetti, National Youth Orchestra, Asian Arts Council, St Mary’s Church, St Peter’s Church, St John’s Church and Ultimate Flyby Orchestra (UFO).

“Our vision is to provide a world class music education for all young people and support them to become their very best.”
