Welcome! Salut! Ciao! Hola!

Welcome to Soar Valley Music Centre. We are a charity which aims to bring training in music and media to everyone and anyone.  We work mainly, but not exclusively, with young people.

Over the years Soar Valley Music Centre has trained thousands of young people from all backgrounds and given them a route into the industry.

The charity now offers projects and courses for all kinds of people from those coming from a youth offending background, to young people at risk, young people with barriers to learning, those who don’t go to school or are at risk of exclusion, as well as talented young musicians seeking dynamic and specialised support.

This is achieved through the wide range of provision available at Soar Valley Music Centre ...
