Our Impact - TheMusicWorks
We engage with young people through making music which helps them to build confidence, self-belief and increase motivation. This, in turn, empowers them to improve their life chances.

We specialise in working with young people facing barriers in music, in learning and in life. We measure our impact according to authenticity, inclusivity, engagement, creativity, empowerment and sustainability. We aren’t interested in one-off projects that don’t have an ongoing impact.

We want to make a significant difference to young people’s lives.
We’re strongly outcomes-focused. All of our work achieves one or more of the following:
  • Musical outcomes: developed/improved musical abilities
  • Personal outcomes: improved educational engagement and attendance, increased self confidence, increased self-belief, increased aspirations, developed leadership skills, improved physical development e.g. dexterity
  • Social outcomes: reduced negative behaviours, improved relationships
