Welcome to Blackpool Music Service, we hope you enjoy our new promo video below.

Formed in 2002, Blackpool Music Service is a nationally respected, financially self-sufficient, customer led service and provides ‘outstanding value for money’.

We provide weekly musical tuition in 95% of Blackpool Schools and Academies and in Children’s Centres across the borough. Regular staged events in our prestigious venues celebrate Blackpool children’s exceptional talent.

In 2025 we became a delivery partner of Lancashire Music Hub and continued to expand, diversify and work with national and international music organisations. Our strength is our inclusion policy, needs analysis and drive to meet the musical needs of all Blackpool children. Our unique approach offers free instrumental loans to all children, free ensembles, free choirs and free participation in all events.

Blackpool Music Service is entirely customer driven. Our success is due to the excellent interaction we have with all schools and musical communities across Blackpool. Provisions include “Tiddly-Om-Pom-Poms” for parents, carers and babies from birth to 5 years of age, Wider Opportunities for Primary and High School children, free instrumental loans for all music lessons, the provision of instrumental and vocal music lessons, curricular support, and GCSE support. In addition, the service provides numerous free weekly choral and instrumental rehearsals. All this is delivered by our peripatetic teaching staff, who undergo an enhanced DBS check and regular safeguarding training, as well as specialised training for early years.

Our Creative Music Making Programme contains professional, international, national and regional musicians from around the world. This programme provides extensive workshops for up to 20,000 pupils every year and endless opportunities for our children to perform with exciting, experienced artists. Such opportunities are requested, monitored and assessed by our various Strategic Steering Groups (Adult and Pupil). All our stakeholders are represented in these groups and their opinions dictate the content and standards of our work. Their regular assessments give clear guidance as to how successful events have been and clear indications on how to improve and extend programmes. Consequently, we have a very large number of partners.

With the introduction of regular new opportunities, extensive social media interaction and, a very proactive specialist team with incredible local support, we can ensure that all Blackpool children reach their full musical potential. With new regular aspirations our existing quality service will inspire our future musicians and ambassadors and provide endless hours of music-making fun for all.
