Children are set to experience a whole new world of music thanks to the linking of a number of creative partners in a new collaborative project, The Staffordshire Music Partnership (SMP).
The SMP has successfully won a tender and been awarded a grant of £200,000 from the government to unite creative agencies including: Manchester Camerata, Make Some Noise, the New Vic Theatre, Sound it Out Community Music and the School Improvement Division, with Cannock Chase District Council, East Staffordshire District Council and Staffordshire Moorlands Council.
The SMP's music activity initiatives will include:
- Learning an instrument
- Playing together in bands
- Going to live workshops
- Taking part in concerts
- Listening to internationally known musicians
- Rugeley will also be hosting a family day for young people and their parents and a residential weekend for young composers
