The Tri-borough Music Hub is delighted to have been given the accolade of lead delivery partner for Phase One of Sounds like Hammersmith & Fulham which has lots of upcoming free opportunities for your students, your school and teachers responsible for teaching music.
Sounds like Hammersmith & Fulham is the springboard for the delivery of a ten-year programme of cultural development in the borough. The focus is young people, creating the opportunity for long-term change through social integration and by countering knife crime through innovative arts and cultural provision, using music as a medium. The programme will be a catalyst for change, providing opportunities to foster and facilitate collaboration between music professionals and lay people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities. It will be delivered in two phases – the first for 14-18 year olds, the second for 18-25 year olds, which will be delivered by HQI. Sounds like Hammersmith & Fulham is funded by a cultural Impact Award as part of the Mayor’s London Borough of Culture programme.
Phase One is an ambitious music programme throughout 2022 available for all 14-18 year olds who live or go to school in LBHF focussing on 3 genres: Music Production & Technology, Hip-hop & Rap & Song-writing
The programme will focus on the following areas:
➔ Youth Voice & empowerment
➔ Educational settings provision
➔ Musical opportunities & mentoring for young people out of school time
➔ Provision, mentoring, accreditation & pathways for young people not in education, employment, or training
➔ Performance opportunities and celebration of talent
