About The Garage Music Programme
The Garage Music Programme delivers free, weekly, group music sessions for young people who are facing challenges or difficulties and who would benefit from engaging in music. The aim of the programme is to help young people develop music skills, increase their confidence, find ways to positively express themselves, improve their communication skills, make friends and have fun.

Young people who engage in the Music Beginners Sessions can also attend weekly one-to-one or very small group Instrument Lessons that aim to help them increase their music skills so that they are able to progress.

Participation is free, and we can take referrals from parents, guardians and professionals.

This programme is funded by Youth Music. It is important for parents, referral partners and the young people to be aware that we will produce reports for the funder each year on the impact of the work on the young people and the success and learning from the work.

Young people, parents, guardians and referral partners will need to be aware that over the course of the programme we will gather information to share with Youth Music which will include the following:

Age, ethnicity, gender identity of young people
Barriers to participation that the young people face
Case Studies on the impact of the programme and journey of the young people
Photos of young people taking part in sessions and performances
Videos and recordings of the young people taking part in the music sessions, performances
Music video that are produced as part of the programme
Music Recordings that are produced as part of the programme
Impact Interviews with young people, parents, guardians, referral partners, tutors, support workers and volunteers
Feedback from young people, tutors, parents, guardians and referral partners in the form of recorded focus groups, paper feedback forms, or emails with questions relating to impact and skills development
