Everybody has a voice and we encourage every child to find their own unique voice and develop their confidence when singing. By beginning early and developing the "inner ear", our young musicians have a foundation for all their musical learning to come.

Enjoyment of singing comes first but we believe that pupils can also produce high quality music in this environment so we have a structures support programme for schools to engage with from nursery and early years right through to sixth form. We offer high quality opportunities for children and young people to enjoy their singing, we support teachers to improve their confidence in leading singing and we encourage all schools to put singing at the heart of their daily life.

Stockport Music Service can offer the following support to schools:
