Vision 2010 – ‘A passion for music’
The Liverpool Music Support Service has been passionate about music in this city for over 40 years and we will continue to support young people making music well into the next 40 years.

We are proud to be working in close partnership with Notre Dame Catholic College for the Arts, a unique and powerful affiliation with a school that is equally committed to ensuring that all young people are supported to achieve their full potential in music and the arts.

We recognise the challenges young people face in accessing music and this makes us ever more determined to explore new and innovative models of delivery to ensure the gap is narrowed between the most disadvantaged and the majority. We will work closely with schools across the city in providing high quality music making opportunities both within the school timetable and as part of the increasing extended schools and cultural offer.

We will work with schools to explore creative and accessible curriculums. We will celebrate musical achievement and endeavour to ensure that playing a musical instrument is recognised as a valuable and worthwhile aspect of a young person’s identity.

We will seek at every opportunity to ensure the quality of experience always reflects the very best practice. We recognise that in order to learn a musical instrument young people must be safe and healthy, we will seek at every opportunity to promote and engage safer working practices with all our staff.

Liverpool is a vibrant and creative city with a far reaching musical reputation, we who work in the Liverpool Music Support Service are proud to work with a generation of young people who will go on to make a valuable contribution to this cultural heritage.
