Creating community spaces, workshops and events for young people, building confidence and life skills through music and related arts

The Music Arts Project is a local community organisation that has a vision to make music inclusive to everyone, regardless of musical ability through school holiday Rock Schools, regular workshops, activities, performances and events.

The Gateway Academy enables young people aged between 7-18 to experience the thrill of being part of a band, building confidence, creating memories and positive experiences providing the perfect gateway to help fulfil dreams of becoming part of the music industry.

Dedicated to providing pathways for young people to be part of the music industry, the Academy provides:

Come and support our bands/artists, local bands/artists and maybe even get involved at MAP gigs, events & performances.

MAP has been providing music lessons, workshops, master classes, recording sessions and educational support classes for the last 5 years and have created a succesful approach to music education which when combined with our unique environment consisting of a live lounge (for performances and rehearsals), a fully fitted out recording studio and sound engineering booth provides everything required to enhance your schools music provision and at the same time excite, motivate and encourage students.

Our aim is to provide opportunities for the local community to participate in the arts, and to offer employment and training opportunities for young people studying in the arts. Through this, we hope that members of the community will engage with their social skills and meet with others to enhance their creative experience.
