Music Local supports and develops place-based music support systems and infrastructures, tailored to the needs of individual music communities. We establish communication platforms and create links from music education hubs to the commercial music industry and beyond. We coordinate activity to support sector development, including training, networking and facilitation of nation-wide initiatives, all underpinned by the aspiration to make regional music communities more inclusive. We created the emerging talent development program, Launchpad, that now supports artists and emerging professionals throughout Yorkshire. We work with local government and organisations to support, develop, promote and represent local music groups. Music Local is supported by Youth Music with public funding from the National Lottery through Arts Council England, as a PRS Foundation Talent Development Partner.
