Behind the new initiative – The Family Music Hub – is Early Education and early childhood music practitioners Katie Neilson, Rosie Adediran and Nicola Burke.

It is backed by Youth Music, which is funded by the National Lottery via Arts Council England.

The aim of The Family Music Hub is to provide a democratic and inclusive model of early childhood family music making practice, as well as a place anyone working musically with families can go to for support, including resources and training.

It is in response to the limited support available for early years practitioners, volunteers, library staff and music specialists to offer families high-quality music-making experiences.
