Luton Music Service has always had ties to local schools, communities, organisations and much more.
Since partnering up with music hubs from Central Bedfordshire, Bedford and Milton Keynes, we have created a Local Partnership Panel.
This consists of local organisations:
Schools:
Luton Sixth Form College
Putteridge High School

Music on Mondays
The Luton Local Partnership Panel was created to help bridge the gap when it comes to the creative arts, communities and the wider public. The other purposes of this panel are to bring together a wide range of supporters and stakeholders committed to the provision and delivery of high-quality music provision for for all learners, to facilitate joined-up music provisions in the local areas based on effective partnership working and to review local provision and identify key priorities for future development. Whilst doing this, we hope to develop a shared communication strategy to clearly signpost opportunities to all families and schools in the local area, and advocate for BLMK Music Hub and Bedford Music Service, including help to publicise and promote its work.
Using this platform, we have been able to connect local schools, artists, and venues together, helping form communications that previously may not have been available.
Some of our local partners have written something about themselves and given us permission to share on here:
