The Music Promise

We want to give every child in the city an opportunity to play and sing. There’ll be lessons, sessions, plenty of new kit and lots of performances, both in and out of school.

We’re prioritising some groups: our youngest children, those with special educational needs and disabilities, children with exceptional talent, and young people who haven’t been involved in music-making before. Because that’s where music learning can make the biggest impact.

We’re building new musical partnerships and inviting local and global musicians to play and perform with our children. And we’re promoting training for music teachers.

The Promise is our commitment to music learning. We want to put it centre stage in the city in 2013 and set the scene for generations to come
