Get more out of music...
Inspiring children and young people to develop a love of music through participation in musical experiences within and outside school.
Cumbria Music Education Hub is collaborative partnership led by Westmorland & Furness Council Music Service (Children’s Services). Working together with Cumberland Council Music Service, schools and educational settings across Cumbria, and local, regional and national partners, we use the ACE Music Hub Grant to deliver the vision and three goals of the National Plan for Music Education and enable all children and young people to learn to sing, play an instrument and create music together, and have the opportunity to progress their musical interests and talents.
