Music can benefit young people in far-reaching ways. Not only can it enable young people to learn new skills, but it can support their well-being by creating opportunities for self-expression, collaboration and belonging. Research has found these benefits to be especially positive for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. In spite of these benefits, there are widening inequalities in the provision of and access to music-making. Such concerns have been heightened in the context of ongoing public sector cuts, and the resultant music education budgets in schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this lunch-time seminar, we invite you to join community practitioners and researchers involved in music and music-making in settings outside of the classroom. Part celebration, part call for action, it will showcase the wealth and energy of music initiatives working with, and for, young people. Together, these projects demonstrate the tremendous benefits that music can bring, not only to individuals, but also to communities. By making instruments and music education available to all young people, deliberately bringing sound into unexpected places and social groups, and challenging the rules around music-making, these initiatives show how valuable, and how valued music is in young people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
