About

Music Education Islington is the Music Education Hub for the London Borough of Islington.

Music Education Hubs are local partnerships of music education providers, funded by central government, who work together to ensure all children and young people have sustained opportunities to engage in musical learning activities.

Music Education Islington is led by Islington Council and Guildhall School of Music & Drama, in partnership with Music in Secondary Schools Trust and leading arts organisations and funders, as well as the Islington Community of Schools. It receives core funding from Arts Council England.

The partnership, which was launched in October 2018, opens up a wealth of diverse opportunities for young people in Islington to access world-class music education, resources and experiences. It is the first time a Music Education Hub is being led by a local authority working with an internationally renowned conservatoire.
