Welcome to the Blackpool Music Service Website.
Welcome to our new Website. Hopefully it will fulfil several purposes including being a place to celebrate collective music making, provide information and clear guidance relating to events, rehearsals and risk assessments, offer supportive peripatetic and school documents and parental letters, provide enjoyable pictures of past events, indicate up and coming events and finally, will be interactive so pupils, staff and the general public can present their observations. Whilst we still have some categories to complete regular users will notice a rapid increase in the volume of information offered.
This site offers 3 levels of information, one for the general public and parents, one for staff and organisers (Registered) and one for peripatetic staff (Registered). For staff and organisers all you have to do is to register your interest and we will do the rest.
