Bringing music to the children of Harrow

Where music comes first

We are passionate about ensuring that every child in Harrow has the opportunity to learn a musical instrument, with performance opportunities and a clear route of progression available for all.

What do we do?

We offer two main avenues to access affordable music tuition...

Lessons in Schools

We work with over 50 schools across Harrow (both primary and secondary) and are striving to support music within the curriculum through the School Music Education Plan. There is a recognition amongst many schools in Harrow that a strong music provision supports good achievement, good behaviour, health, wellbeing and creativity in schools.

Ensembles

Playing and/or singing as part of a group greatly supports musical development by offering a clear progression route from individual lessons with performance opportunities. Students also gain confidence rehearsing and performing together with the added benefit of the social aspect to learning.

Leading the way

We are the lead organisation in the Harrow Music Education Hub, for which we receive the Music Education Grant from the DfE/Arts Council.

The Music Education Grant is used to subsidise all traded services to schools, support performance opportunities for students such as the Band, String, Guitar, Recorder, World and Song Festivals and to support other Hub members providing special services to children, such as Harrow Young Musicians.

Get involved

Research shows that learning a musical instrument can support good achievement, good behaviour, health, wellbeing and creativity as well as being just plain good fun!
