About us

Coventry Music was founded in 2017. It was formerly known and historically more recognisable as Coventry Performing Arts Service by many Coventry residents.

Many people in the city will have grown up taking part in music in their schools, and events across the city, including very fondly remembered Mornings of Music (ask your mum or dad) and we continue to maintain the same high standards of service, providing access to music for all young people across the city.

We are a music hub working with Coventry Council and many other partners, funded by the Arts Council.

We are a small team with a mix of talented musicians and expert and supportive administrative staff, as well as a larger team of freelance music tutors who work with us to teach in schools across the city and at the music centre at Drapers' Hall.

We are the major provider of music activity to children and young people across Coventry and deliver this in partnership with schools, partners and regional arts organisations. Coventry Music strives to support schools, raise standards and to provide an inclusive, diverse, rich and balanced programme along with opportunities for training and development.

We ensure high-quality teaching and learning across a wide variety of diverse styles and genres working with professional artists from many cultural backgrounds and provide a number of high profile performance opportunities which showcase talent, progression and achievement.
