Primary
Seedlings
Group tuition on strings, keyboards or drums, making music from the very first session. Keen learners can move on to 1-to-1 tuition with Prodigies.
Young People
How we work with young people
We join up expert music tutors and practitioners with young people, through their schools and in the wider community. Projects run from classroom singing to a first live gig, and aim to be cost-neutral for schools.
Our approach
Built on three things every young person needs
Our founding aim, to inspire and empower young people through music, guides this work. Projects are built on Self-Determination Theory. We believe that relatedness helps equip young people to be more active in their communities.
Autonomy
Freedom to explore their own musical interests and ideas.
Competence
Real technical and creative skills, through expert guidance and hands-on learning.
Relatedness
Connection through collaboration, peer support and shared achievements.
Projects
Projects we run with schools
Each one can be adapted to a school's pupils, timetable and space.

In class
Music Boost
A trained tutor supports whole-class music lessons using real instruments, helping deliver the national curriculum and adding to teachers' CPD.
All ages

Digital music production where students own their creative work, ending in a mixtape release and a live showcase.
Extra-curricular
Local Band Workshops
Students form bands, try new instruments and prepare for performances, guided by multi-instrumentalist tutors.
Partnerships
How partnerships work
Each project brings together a school, local practitioners and a funder. We coordinate, manage and deliver it.
Schools
We help schools to enrich curricular and extra-curricular music, support wellbeing, and engage pupils who may feel disengaged, including those with SEMH needs. Partner schools provide practice space, time and a committed lead.
