About Us

The Academy supports equity of access to music education for all, with a primary focus on children and young people and those who are economically disadvantaged. We offer subsidised musical tuition to children and young people who show an aptitude or interest in learning and also offer cradle to grave musical engagement opportunities for disadvantaged families within the region of Paisley, an area which is within the top 5% of Scotland’s most disadvantaged areas. We aim to offer consistent engagement that is emotionally and socially nurturing; strive to actively reduce barriers to accessing musical education and enjoyment; aim to connect families, children and organisations through creativity; encourage the development of independent thought and shared responsibility; and aim to develop the skills of local volunteers.
