Liverpool Music Support Service is committed to supporting music in schools across the city. We are a thriving service with over 60 skilled instrumental and vocal tutors and teachers, musicians, composers and music leaders, all proud to be working in over 120 schools in Liverpool.

Over the years, the Liverpool Music Support Service has built up a reputation for providing exciting opportunities for young people to make music together and, in turn, nurture musical talent from the initial experience of picking up an instrument to shaping some of the finest young musicians in our city.

Alongside the tuition we provide through schools we offer an extensive array of after school activities for young musicians to access.


Evening Music Centres
Close to 1500 pupils take part in one of our ensembles each week. This is something of which we are really proud.
We currently have 2 evening music centres offering specialist tuition and ensemble provision. A range of musical activities and ensembles take place at these centres, everything from string ensembles to jazz guitar groups, choirs and brass bands.
