About Us

 

"I would like to say thank you for everything that you and all of the other teachers have done for me, from area band at Middleton till now [in InterConnect]. My playing and confidence has progressed an unreal amount since my time with you and I've enjoyed all of it."
Kaymi, Training orchestra participant
"The children had a great time [at the Great Orchestra Experiment]. There was an interactive element to every performance, even those the children didn't actually play for had a quiz, which worked really well! The orchestral pieces were phenomenal as always and the children really enjoyed themselves."
School staff member, Great Orchestra Experiment 2024
"We get excellent provision and very good value for money from the Nottingham Music Service.  The staff are of high calibre and provide us with expert support which embellishes our music curriculum. Additional opportunities such as music concerts and music camp really add to the quality experiences our children receive."
Paul Worley, Sycamore Head Teacher
"The teaching is delivered by highly qualified musicians, who establish excellent relationships with pupils and teaching staff, becoming embedded into the Mellers staff team.  Our music provision is outstanding, always commented on by Ofsted, and recognised as being a hugely valuable part of the aspirational work we do."
Amanda Dawson, Mellers Executive Head Teacher
"This is just a quick thank you to all involved in the Nottingham Music Service for the amazing concert last night and for the way that you have continued to inspire so many young people with music even throughout this difficult year (our son plays in InterConnect and our daughter was singing with her primary school!). You are an exceptional team of people and we are lucky to have you in Nottingham."
