West Sussex Music provides high quality and inclusive music education and performance opportunities for all children and young people across the county. We work with a group of partner organisations, schools, young people, and stakeholders from different sectors to develop our collective vision for accessible and inspirational music education. Our vision is for West Sussex to be a place where every child and young person can explore the life-changing benefits of music; on their education, their wellbeing, and their future. There is no charge but voluntary donations are gratefully received.
