Through an ever increasing network of partnerships, Hull Music Service is engaging with schools and the wider community through a variety of projects, from singing to song-writing, composition to urban music as well as Live Music for Schools and large showcase events in the City’s premier venues such as the Middleton Hall, Hull Minster, Connexin Live and City Hall.
Hull Music Service is committed to supporting our most vulnerable young people, including supporting Children with Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND) and Hull’s Looked After Children, by forging closer links with schools, key community organisations and specialist providers. This work will ensure that access to music opportunities in Hull is both equitable and relevant to the needs of the children and young people across the city.
Hull Music Service would like to thank all of the City’s schools, families, children, young people and partner organisations (both in the City and further afield) for their ongoing commitment and passion for music-making.
Hull Music Service is also grateful to Hull City Council for its sustained and generous support that enables so many of Hull children to have access to high quality music education.
