‘Sound Foundation Somerset - like all other music education hubs - ensures that every child aged 5 – 18 has the opportunity to sing and learn a musical instrument and to perform as part of an ensemble or choir. It also offers opportunities which enable pupils to take their musical interest and talent further through ensembles, both locally and through links with national programmes ... We also run Music Inclusion events that provide a network for the arts and education sectors to share learning and resources that break down barriers to music education.’

'A nationally renowned rural music festival where people from all walks of life experience and enjoy extraordinary music performed by world-class artists, in stunning locations. The Festival was borne out of the devastation caused by the Foot and Mouth Disease outbreak in 2001, which decimated the UK farming and tourism industries. John and Penny Adie, Devon locals, were inspired to help regenerate the local economy and bring light and encouragement to people’s lives by producing a week of stunning music-making on the "Two Moors" of Exmoor and Dartmoor.' Held Mid October.
