OUR PROGRAMMES
HOLIDAY EVENTS
These popular four-day workshops take place during the school holidays and half-term breaks and are run by our partners at Red Butler Music School.
Led by professional music tutors, School of Rock shows children how to play electric instruments in a band setting. This includes electric guitars, basses, keyboards, singing, and of course drums. Each workshop ends with a live performance where young people can showcase their inner rock star to parents and carers.
Some of the students who join us for these courses have played before, but no previous music experience is required. The tutors are able to teach at all levels and can guarantee a great time regardless of previous experience.
SCHOOL-BASED SUPPORT
We work directly with primary and secondary schools across Sussex to fund high-impact, contemporary music projects that engage pupils and empower teaching staff.
Working with our delivery partners and schools offer fully funded interventions for pupils eligible for Pupil Premium or requiring SEND support. Programs like Seedlings (small-group instrumental tuition) and Drum Circle (rhythm-based sessions for emotional regulation) ensure every child receives tailored, nurturing support.
We bring practical, modern music-making right into the classroom, boosting confidence for both staff and students.
FUTURE STAR GRANTS
Future Star Grants are for young people who have already been bitten by the music bug and want to take their passion further.
We provide a small number of grants to support the ongoing costs of music education and training.
If you are responsible for a young person who is economically disadvantaged, has learning difficulties or mental health problems and may benefit from financial support to pursue their musical dreams, please enquire using the link below.
PASSION FOR MUSIC
We work with tuition partners, performers and venues to develop events which foster an initial enthusiasm for music.
