What we do

Love Music is a dynamic music inclusion and education charity which increases its participants’ wellbeing, confidence, and musical skills through an exciting range of open-access projects. We strive to remove all barriers to participation and we actively seek to increase diversity within our activities. We offer free places and additional support wherever required.

We work with communities and young people offering inclusive music participation opportunities for people of any level of ability or experience. Our focus on inclusion tackles social isolation and supports community building. Bringing people from all backgrounds together helps to build stronger and better integrated communities.

We use our experience to envision, devise and deliver strategic work which helps to grow the wider community music sector, especially community singing, and supports those who deliver this work across Scotland. Our portfolio includes research, providing training, commissioning resources and collaborative opportunities, and facilitating the sharing of best practice for music leaders and teachers. We successfully connect and work collaboratively with our peers, individuals and organisations, to better understand the impact and need for this work, and to help it become sustainable.

We are committed to the highest quality of engagement in all aspects of our work, using the experience and skills of our core team to design music participation projects where people feel welcome, valued and creatively enriched. We invest time and care ensuring our work is accessible and in supporting those with additional needs, which enables people to take part on an equal footing. We collaborate with the best musicians and work in the best environments because we believe that everyone deserves to experience the life enhancing benefits of taking part in inspirational music making.
