The Music Works

Who we are

We are a Gloucestershire based charity whose mission is to transform young people’s lives through music. We’re specialists in working with young people in challenging circumstances to help them reach their full potential in music, learning and in life.

We work regularly with 4,500 young people aged 8-30 and a further 3,500 through events.

We cater for everyone, from first access through to talent and career development. We deliver one-to-one music mentoring, small group work, accredited training, apprenticeships and internships, festivals and events, artist and career development and business incubation.

Programmes and activities take place in our state-of-the-art studio spaces, schools and through outreach with our community partners.

Programmes can be accessed via self-referral, including just turning up or agency referral.
