About us

Our vision is for every young person in Harrow to be the musician they want to be.

With the help of Harrow Music, we’d like all young people to have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument to their fullest potential, to enjoy the progress they make, have access to wonderful musical experiences and grow up with a love of music which will be life-long. 

Harrow Music is the lead provider of music education in the borough of Harrow and also now partners with four other music services in the larger London West Music Education Hub. 

Our exceptional team, comprising instrumental teachers, specialist class instructors, and ensemble and workshop leaders, provides instrumental lessons across 47 schools within the Borough. We also conduct ensemble activities after school and at weekends at Harrow Arts Centre. Our work includes whole class music provision, weekly creative music provision in three special schools and small group instrumental teaching.

Our service fosters an inclusive environment where pupils from all walks of life can come together to express themselves and make music, enhancing their creativity and problem solving skills and improving their wellbeing. 

We are passionate about music of all kinds - classical, pop, rock, jazz and the music of the many cultures that come together in our wonderful borough. Our annual programme of instrumental, choral and cultural festivals brings pupils together, share their work and grow as musicians. 

From first steps to the biggest stages, Harrow Music is with you all the way!
