How we're teaching music safely
Scratchmakers February half term course
Our fabulous and fun creative music course is back during the February half term on 18-19 February. The course is for anyone who plays an instrument aged 8-12 who'd like to explore different ways to create rhythm, beats and melodies and how to fit them together.
Music in lockdown - pupil survey
We’d like to hear about your children’s music making experiences during the pandemic, as well as any ideas about how we can bring more music to them during lockdown and beyond. Please share the survey with young people to complete by Sunday 31st January.
WFMEH Inclusive Music Strategy 2021-2025
Our strategy sets out plan for building a culture of inclusive music education, where all children and young people are valued and recognised for their unique qualities, ideas, voices and perspectives and where they can see the Hub providing a range of diverse musical opportunities and progression pathways.

Music school groups
In a music group, ensemble or orchestra students use the skills they develop in lessons, while improving their confidence and performance ability through a fun and sociable learning experience.
Teaching music safely in schools
Since September, we've been working closely with schools across the borough to continue music making safely and we're delighted to be back #CanDoMusic.
