The big day coming soon!

At City Road and Our Lady of Fatima Primary Schools we have been busy preparing for the end of project sharing days at the Town Hall and the CBSO Centre in July.

Sharing Day/Handsworth Primary Schools

Thought I'd share a little something.... repping Birmingham Jazz.


It's been a real pleasure to work with Wilkes Green, St. James & Watville Primary schools in Handsworth. As a practitioner the main difficulty that the team (mainly me) have found, is how to make hand held percussion sound funky.

Welcome to 'Banded About'!

The Birmingham Music Hub has been awarded one of only five national DCSF Music Partnership Projects for 2009-2010. The project coincides with ‘Tune In’ year of music. The project partners include: Birmingham Contemporary Music Group (BCMG); Birmingham Jazz; City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO); Sound It Out Community Music and Town Hall Symphony Hall. The Birmingham Music Service will support all five partners. Children and Young People from five clusters of Birmingham schools will benefit from a range of creative ensemble music making led by professional musicians working in partnership with their teachers. Participants will also experience the live music performed in the City by each of the partner organisations and will give concerts of their own at some of Birmingham’s most internationally renowned venues.

Banded About has been set up on Ning social network for the project clusters to share their experiences, videos, and photos of their projects. To chat, and update fellow members on their individual projects and events!
