About us

MUSINC provides access to high quality music making for young people in the Tees Valley. Our mission is to put music at the centre of young people’s lives and young people at the centre of music making.

We know that young people can bring about positive change in their lives and the lives of those around them by getting involved in music. Therefore we work with some of those most in need – young people (age 10-24) living in challenging circumstances in the local authority areas of Middlesbrough, Stockton, Hartlepool and Redcar and Cleveland.

We run several open access music groups for young people, we deliver intervention projects within particular settings, and we support music leaders by providing training and networking opportunities.

We also offer one-to-one music tuition, which can take place either face to face in Redcar or Stockton, or online. Please contact us to find out if you are eligible for free tuition.

We are funded by the national charity Youth Music and are proud to be founding members of the Alliance for a Musically Inclusive England (AMIE).

For young people: our monthly newsletter includes up and coming and ongoing music making opportunities for young people to get involved in, as well as good news stories, handy musical tips and young musician of the month!

Our professional network: it’s free to join our professional network and you will receive a monthly newsletter with Musinc and sector updates, access to professional development opportunities and bursaries, practitioner networking events and job opportunities.
