SOUND SOCIETY
We are a music initiative that helps children and adults from marginalised and underserved communities to access high quality creative music education and participation. We do this both through our own project work and by supporting other organisations in their inclusion journey.
OUR VISION
We believe music is a vital part of being and expressing the fact that we are human.
It is how we communicate our innermost feelings, our connectedness with each other and our sense of wonder at the world.
Therefore we believe active music making enhances our lives and should be accessible to every person on the planet, no matter where they live or what their circumstances are.
