    NEW PROJECTS


    Supported by Arts Council England and Inspire Culture 2023-24

    Having been successful in getting funding from Arts Council England for a new year-long schools’ project. ‘Extending Reach’ we are now a third of the way through this 4 school project. With an additional large donation from the Lady Carol Djanogly Fund, we have completed our first section of the project involving Year 10's and a full Year 7 class In Djanigly City Academy. This has kick-started some real music culture in the school and more importantly built the confidence in young teenagers to lead and mentor younger students. After an eventful final performance (!) supported by Headmaster,governors and staff alike the enthusiasm to continue on was heart-warming in pupils who were at first very reluctant to participate.
    We hope that these young leaders will also join us for a project later in the year at an inner-city Primary School in Nottingham

    Going forward, we will be working in partnership with Inspire Culture, the music hub for Nottinghamshire, with a Primary and Secondary school in Sutton-In-Ashfield. All projects will feature work with young leaders. Watch this space for more updates!!

    CURRENT PROJECTS

    Current Projects

    Great news – we are delighted to announce that we have been successful in gaining funding from The National Lottery Community Fund for our Grassroots Vocal Workshops for the third time!   
    Grassroots Vocal Workshops has been running for two years and has proved a huge hit with participants. We are also thrilled to be continuing our very fruitful partnership with Emmanuel House Support Centre for this project. The workshops will be run on a weekly basis at Emmanuel House, every Wednesday from 4 – 6pm. As before, the workshops are designed for anyone considered vulnerable in the community, including those suffering from isolation or mental health issues. This year, we plan to develop the project, reach more vulnerable people in the community and increase performance opportunities. Sessions are designed to be fun and inclusive, with completely open access, but will include helpful breathing and posture techniques, designed to improve general well-being.

YOUNG LEADERSHIP Project (part2)

Learning through progression-2019/20

Many creative educational projects struggle to maintain continuity in an era when “new” or “different” are the premium concepts for funding. We have discovered with this generously funded mentoring project, that we can create within an under-resourced and challenging environment, a relationship with growing teen-agers who can inspire and pass on information and experiences to younger students who wish to learn similar skills. At Sutton Academy, it was a novel experience for Years10/11 to be showing the new Year 9 the skills and confidence they learnt by participating in a previous VoiceChoice project.
