Our work with Schools & Music Hubs

We work with young people and teachers across the country in partnership with local music hubs and music organisations. All our sessions aim to empower young people through singing. Our workshops are run by our team of expert vocal leaders and supported by our Emerging Professional Artists. 

It is crucial that our workshops have as few barriers as possible to taking part and we aim to meet each group of participants where they are and have fun together. You won't need special equipment or music reading skills to join in and sing with us!
