Press Release: Music to our Early Ears!

Note Weavers CIC have been awarded £30,000 by Youth Music using public funding from the National Lottery through Arts Council England to support early years music education in the North West of England and beyond.

This new programme of work, ‘Talking Regions’, will support early years educators and music practitioners at several levels.  New local and specialist practitioner networks will be established to share ideas and resources and offer access to free training opportunities. There will be music activity in four nursery settings led by four practitioners who will be mentored by the Note Weavers team and receive a bursary to complete the Level 4 Certificate for Music Educators; Early Childhood (CME:EC).

Talking Regions will also bring together a number of regional early years music organisations including key voices in the sector from across England to initiate a new national dialogue that is mutually supportive and informative for the ongoing development of early years music practice. 

Incorporated as a Community Interest Company in 2019, Note Weavers is an organisation committed to;

  • establishing opportunities for practitioners to connect and develop their knowledge and understanding, improving early years music practice
  • increasing access to inclusive music opportunities for children, families and communities
  • developing the early years music workforce and supporting emerging practitioners 
  • contributing to conversations on a national level with other like minded organisations.

Note Weavers has existing partnerships with Brighter Sound, Early Years Education department at Edge Hill University and More Music who said;

“A key area for development in early years music provision is supporting the workforce in sharing practice, training, examining the latest in reflective evaluation and educating music practitioners. Note Weavers will play an important role in leaving a lasting impact on developing skills for the sector. “   Loz Kaye 2019

Notes for editors: About Youth Music

This project is supported by Youth Music, using public funding from the National Lottery through Arts Council England. Youth Music is a national charity investing in music-making projects that support children and young people aged 0-25 to develop personally and socially as well as musically. The charity works particularly with those who don’t get to make music because of who they are, where they live, or what they’re going through.

Projects funded by Youth Music help to break down barriers at all stages – helping children develop an early love of music, providing diverse role models, introducing young people to a wide variety of potential career paths, and working with the music industry to make its practices more inclusive.

    ‘these first weeks after birth are crucial for building relationships & establishing behaviours that affect long-term infant development and health’

    We are pleased to see the importance of early relationships in the new @WHO guidelines on postnatal care.
