An opportunity for early years music practitioners across the North West to connect, share ideas and discuss practice in response to COVID-19

Come, join the conversation and connect with other practitioners across the region.

  • Share experiences of new ways of working and discuss challenges to practice in the current COVID environment.
  • Find ways to support and help each other though these unprecedented times.

Shared Sounds: supporting young families’ music making

We are delighted to share the news that we are working in partnership with The Bureau Centre for the Arts in Blackburn on their new Youth Music funded programme Shared Sounds, which aims to support young families to take part in music activities.

From June 23rd Note Weavers will provide a free Facebook live session with songs, rhymes and musical games for young children with their parents/carers on Tuesdays at 10am.  Families can take part live or check out our Facebook events page or via our YouTube channel after the event.

The funding received by The Bureau for the Shared Sounds project will also be used to:

  • offer music sessions to different community groups who are working with under 5s and their families
  • to support music leaders and early years practitioners to develop their knowledge and experience to lead music activities with young children.

If you or your organisation are interested in finding out more, do get in touch. We welcome conversations about how we can develop this programme in new ways which reflect the reality of the new Covid19 world we are working in.
