0We are The Music Works
Our mission is to transform young lives through music. We’re specialists in working with young people in challenging circumstances to help them reach their full potential in music, in learning, and in life.
Why we exist
Not enough young people in Gloucestershire are currently benefiting from access to music provision, especially those in challenging circumstances.
A lack of access to creativity can have far-reaching consequences for young people including poor physical and mental health, boredom and a lack of ambition. Without stimulation and inspiration, this can lead to exclusion from school, unemployment, offending and other negative behaviours.
"Music has always been a way for me to release my thoughts and emotions so that is why it has been a big help to me”
This is why The Music Works exists, to provide accessible opportunities so that all young people in Gloucestershire can access the transformative benefits of music.
The difference we make
“The support of The Music Works has made the world of difference to Ashleigh’s confidence, keeping her going when things got tough, helping her express herself and find her voice, raise her musical horizons and smash down barriers that so often stand in young people’s way when it comes to music”
