Music Services
Charanga

We are a partnership that brings together local organisations from across Cumbria to deliver the best music education for children and young people. We work together to create joined up, high quality music education in and out of school, getting the most from government funding for music education for young people in Cumbria.

Inspiring children and young people to develop a love of music through participation in a range of musical experiences within and outside school.
