Our Vision
Giving every adult a way to create, engage, and express through making music.
Our Values
The values that drive our vision are:
• Empowerment: we create the conditions for people to create and develop creative skills

• Social equality, inclusivity, and justice: we offer music-making to people of all backgrounds, abilities, and requirements
We believe that everyone can express themselves and communicate with others using sound.
Through our work we offer people opportunities to explore this, whether through voice, instruments, other sound sources and related creative expression such as movement or mark-making to music.
We believe that sound- and music– making is a powerful tool for social connectivity.
Through creating music together in the moment, people’s sense of wellbeing and shared empathy increases significantly.
