Learning Framework for Inclusive Music Making

Sage Gateshead is a music centre rooted deeply in the North East. 

We aim to improve lives in our region by making sure music - creating, experiencing, and enjoying - is accessible to all. We believe that music is often deeply woven into young people’s lives: as a soundtrack, outlet, social activity, and a key to personal relationships and individual identification. We have created this guide for our music leaders, and anyone who works in music education with children and young people, to help keep the learners’ experiences and enjoyment central to how they make music. The considerations and practices in this guide are an ever-evolving framework to support music leaders to create safe, inclusive and inspiring environments.
