Slough Music Service

Inspiring Every Child’s Musical Journey through Diversity, Progression and Inclusion.

Slough Music Service is the local music service for Slough, Berkshire and lead organisation of the Slough Music Education Hub.

The music service is a not for profit service, part of Slough Borough Council's Education and Children's Services and funded by central government. We provide music lessons, training and events in and outside school for children and young people in Slough.

We are proud to work with the children, young people and staff in Slough's schools, and with those in the community, to provide enhanced music services for all.
