Here's some examples of Music in Action’s regular outreach projects:
Our UK Projects
We are actively developing a programme for schools for the new school year, beginning with free singing workshops for Primary Schools in Tunbridge Wells in October and instrumental workshops in Oxfordshire in November. Our experienced musicians will be visiting KS2 pupils to provide musical activity, discussion, engage the children in live performance and the opportunity to make music themselves.
We are also delighted to have provided financial support for the purchase of musical instruments for whole-school use to St Laurence’s Primary School, Cambridge, and to be sponsoring a term of musical therapy for pupils with special educational needs from January 2027.
If you are a teacher, parent, or member of a school community and you think your school would benefit from a visit, please get in touch.
Access Bursaries
In partnership with the World Heartbeat Foundation, we sponsor children to receive full music bursaries for annual instrumental tuition. We are delighted to be able to double the number of pupils supported in 2026/7 as a result of generous donations.

Young Artist Programme
Music in Action fundraises to support a number of young Artists each year who wish to make music their life and career.

Community Care Homes Outreach
Music in Action hosts around 20 workshops in care homes each year.
Many artists including this picture of artists performing therapeutic music events in care homes including the Limes, Hospice and at the hospital. Music in Action organises around 20 such events each year.
Lakeside Care Home said: "The performance was absolutely breathtaking. Many of our residents are incapacitated in various ways and are not always able to express their enjoyment in ways that are readily apparent. It was wonderful to see the rapt attention they paid to the performance, the beaming smiles on their faces and the rapturous applause at the end of every piece. Without organisations such as yours our residents would never have had the opportunity to experience such a special occasion."
This video below is in covid times when we delivered virtual music sessions to over 100 care home residents in just three months. Local Jersey musicians meet with residents, who are often in isolation, to spread live music and joy.
Schools concerts at Jersey Opera House and Methodist and St Mark’s Church
As part of the Liberation Festival, Music in Action hosts over 600 school children for educational concerts. The concerts teach the children diverse skills from beat-boxing, to jazz, to learning about classical music through the BBC Ten Pieces.
This picture is of a workshop learning about music at the Opera House with probably the finest ensemble in the world, the Berlin Philharmonic Octet.
