Sounds Together Birmingham

Sounds Together is a chance to come together in local community spaces and make friends through music!

Sessions are co-designed with the group, based around the interests and ambitions of the group!

Using accessible instruments, technology, and multi-sensory resources the sessions celebrate the creativity of everyone in the room.

In Birmingham we run two Sounds Together groups:

  1. Early Years
  2. All Ages
