Network Partners

Through our network of partners we work extensively with local organisations to enable coherent and effective progression routes for young people.

Ensembles & Choirs

We provide a variety of progression routes into ensembles for young musicians at different stages of learning. These include orchestras, jazz groups, percussion and choirs across the borough.

We offer advice and guidance on the music curriculum and support to monitor progress in music for all. The service also develops talented students and culminates in major performances.
