We believe in the power of music to build confidence and creativity, to nurture leadership and innovation, to promote self-expression, connection and happiness. We want all children and young people to have the opportunity to realise that potential, regardless of circumstance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/musicgenerationlongford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20210721105824_IMG_4295-01-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/musicgenerationlongford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20210721105824_IMG_4295-01-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/musicgenerationlongford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20210721105824_IMG_4295-01-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/musicgenerationlongford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20210721105824_IMG_4295-01-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"114\" src=\"https:\/\/musicgenerationlongford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20210721113926_IMG_4352-01-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-114\" srcset=\"https:\/\/musicgenerationlongford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20210721113926_IMG_4352-01-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/musicgenerationlongford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20210721113926_IMG_4352-01-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/musicgenerationlongford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20210721113926_IMG_4352-01-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/musicgenerationlongford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20210721114222_IMG_4366-01-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/musicgenerationlongford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20210721114222_IMG_4366-01-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/musicgenerationlongford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20210721114222_IMG_4366-01-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/musicgenerationlongford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20210721114222_IMG_4366-01-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"133\" src=\"https:\/\/musicgenerationlongford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20210721122712_IMG_4390-01-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/musicgenerationlongford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20210721122712_IMG_4390-01-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/musicgenerationlongford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20210721122712_IMG_4390-01-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/musicgenerationlongford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20210721122712_IMG_4390-01-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"132\" src=\"https:\/\/musicgenerationlongford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20210721122707_IMG_4389-01-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/musicgenerationlongford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20210721122707_IMG_4389-01-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/musicgenerationlongford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20210721122707_IMG_4389-01-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/musicgenerationlongford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20210721122707_IMG_4389-01-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Music Generation is a national partnership programme whose mission is to create inspiring experiences for children and young people through music.\u00a0We strive to transform children and young people\u2019s lives by [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":86,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-21","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
