Cambridgeshire Music’s vision is that all children, families and adults in Cambridgeshire take advantage of the rich cultural opportunities available in the county, and that the providers of those opportunities work together to drive quality and reach. We provide children, families and adults in Cambridgeshire with high quality performing arts education and therapy, through direct delivery, commissioning and strategic leadership. Our direct delivery includes tuition on a wide range of instruments, and opportunities for young people to play together in ensembles and bands at all levels. We loan instruments to individual learners and schools and hold an extensive library of sheet music for reference and loan. We provide music and drama therapy in a variety of settings. Our special projects bring live music into schools and open up opportunities for young people to work with professional artists and take part in large-scale events. As lead organisation for the Cambridgeshire Music Education Hub, we work with a wide range of organisations to create joined-up music education provision, respond to local need and deliver the National Plan for Music Education. Our many partners include schools, local authorities, higher education institutions, orchestras, arts and culture organisations and cultural education partnerships. We have over eighty staff and are constituted as a trading service within the Learning Directorate of Cambridgeshire County Council.
