Future of Music Project
The Future of Music Programme, run by music and performing arts coach, Bev Macklin and supported by Pulborough Parish Council, is entering a new phase of momentum this Summer, with rising student numbers, strengthened community partnerships, and renewed focus on safeguarding and facilities. Due to local demand, the programme is seeing steady growth in young people accessing high‑quality, affordable music education.
Growing Participation in Music Lessons
Following a successful open day, new students have begun singing, guitar and piano lessons, with pairing arrangements now underway to support their progression.
Strengthening Local Partnerships
A meeting with St Mary’s School, Pulborough, is exploring outreach opportunities and potential collaborative programmes. This partnership aims to widen access to music education and create new pathways for young people to engage with the arts.
A collaboration with the West Chiltington Silver Band is creating new opportunities for young people to learn to play brass instruments and when they are ready, to join experienced, established players performing at local events such as the ever popular village harvest fair.
Live Performance Opportunities on the Horizon
A series of performance events is being lined up to give young musicians valuable real‑world experience and build their confidence:
- ABC Animal Sanctuary – Sundowner Event (date TBC)
- Under‑18s Open Mic – restarting this summer
These events will help young performers develop stage skills, increase community visibility, and take meaningful steps in their musical journeys.
