City Music and Performing Arts Service

We aim to deliver a quality education that enhances the lives of our pupils in Stoke-on-Trent. We believe that making music is inspirational and enables pupils to realise their potential. We promote a culture of inclusion, team work and positive thinking.

We provide instrumental, vocal, and national curriculum music teaching in schools across Stoke-on-Trent and a wide range of evening activities to develop the skills of young people.

The service is expanding to engage to all people in the city - families, adults and young people.

Evening Activities

The City Youth bands, orchestras and choirs are an excellent opportunity for your child to play or sing with other motivated and enthusiastic young people of all ages from across Stoke-on-Trent.
