Philosophy

It’s an accepted fact: music making is good for you ~ physically, mentally, and emotionally. Anyone and everyone can enjoy playing music. Whatever stage you’re at in your life or with your instrument, you can make sounds, put them together with others, get into a groove, get lost in a soundscape, go sight-seeing with your ears,  play with music. And by doing it, you’ll learn how to do it better.

With the recent action research and activity of Creative Partnerships, Musical Futures, Music Leader, and Youth Music’s Action Zones, we have seen giant steps towards better provision of music activity in the UK. With the Music Manifesto campaign boasting the support of some of the country’s finest and most successful musicians and organisations, this momentum looks to continue.Everyday Music exists to help schools, youth and community groups to tailor their music activities to their pupils and members. With years of experience of delivering, training others to deliver and managing large youth music projects, Everyday Music can help you develop your offer to your clients.

Many musicians can play well, are sensitive to ensemble dynamics, and can communicate musically. But to work alongside other participants and enable them to define and achieve their own potential is another skill altogether. Everyday Music provides training, advice and guidance for musicians in the philosophy and concepts of community music as well as practical training.
