Blackpool Music Service, which was founded in 2002, is a nationally recognized, financially self-sufficient, customer-driven service that, according to the Federation of Music Services (2011), provides "outstanding value for money."The National Music Council echoed this sentiment when it bestowed the prestigious "Major Trophy" on Blackpool Music Service in November 2011.Weekly musical lessons are provided in 95% of Blackpool schools and academies, as well as in Children's Centres throughout the borough.The Music Centre is a fun place to work and rehearse because of its constant drive to improve the experiences and opportunities of all Blackpool children.The service was awarded Music Education Hub status in September 2012, and regular staged events in our prestigious venues celebrate Blackpool children's exceptional talent.Annual DfE grants were received through the Arts Council, allowing us to expand our services, form new delivery partnerships, hold inspirational events, and provide fun music-making opportunities for all Blackpool children.
