Bespoke Projects

School pupils in dark coloured uniforms and young people with white tshirts sitting on chairs arranged in a circle in a well lit room. A girl plays a cello in the centre of the circle.

If you work with young people who are facing barriers preventing them from accessing music, we can work with you to use music as a tool for their personal, social and emotional development.

We can create bespoke projects and longer term programmes based around the needs of young people and their musical interest and goals. We currently work with a variety of establishments and organisations including schools, alternative education providers, youth services, local authority teams and services, charities and other music agencies.

If you think music would be beneficial to their PSE development, or as a tool to support inclusion, contact us to discuss possible projects.

For further information, email us on musinc@middlesbrough.gov.uk.
