Creativity is essential for our health & wellbeing, helping us to live well for longer (Creative Health Review ‘23). We’ve seen music education in our schools eroded over the past decade. Numbers taking GCSE music continue to decline, 42% of state schools no longer offer GCSE Music & A Level music entries have dropped by almost 50% in ten years. Music is increasingly out of reach for many & especially in Crawley an IMD Priority Place, home to 50% of our work. Together we can make a difference.

Through bespoke workshops for mainstream & SEND schools, we will introduce world-class live music through story-based concerts, inspire performance with music-making workshops & ignite creativity through specialist composition programmes - giving young people the opportunity to learn & perform alongside our inspirational musicians. Our unique programme will support all young people at every stage of their musical journey, unlocking the creative & social benefits of music-making for all.
