About Community Music

Community Music is one of the UK’s longest-running youth and community organisation that offers music education, professional training programmes and a host of live events. Our principal aim is to provide opportunities for young people to access and participate in creative music production. Through delivering professional training, we create access routes to higher education in modern music and support the career development of aspiring artists. We achieve this by providing industry-standard facilities and education courses that are led by qualified, experienced musicians and producers in the industry. Our music projects are mostly free as our goal is to increase the access of young people to music learning and performance opportunities. We offer a foundation degree in music production and business, courses for music production and music leader training, as well as free instrument tuition. Our students often perform at live music events — from smaller gigs in our purpose-built theatre, to national events across the country. Based in Tower Hamlets, we engage with the local community by running grassroots projects and working with a broad range of artists from diverse backgrounds. Our projects target vulnerable and disadvantaged young people who may be at risk of social exclusion, engaging them through our music education programmes. Our mission is to provide a safe, welcoming space where young people and adults can explore the music-making opportunities available to them, build self-esteem and ambition, and most importantly, develop a passion for music.
