The organisation works closely in partnership with KC Children and Young People’s Service and Musica Kirklees is the preferred provider of music services for the district — in schools, at central classes and ensembles at the five centres throughout Kirklees. Musica Kirklees delivers tuition to over 5000 pupils in Kirklees through Whole Class Ensemble Tuition and a further 2400 pupils in small group instrumental tuition. Twice a year our teachers form recital or #LearnToPlay demo groups and give live performances in schools, bringing live music to a further 6000 pupils. Musica Kirklees has over 70 members of staff, most performing a mainly teaching function, with a small administrative team based at the offices in Beast Market, Huddersfield.
Kirklees Music School, trading as Musica Kirklees, is an independent organisation, a registered charity (no. 1013838) and company limited by guarantee (no. 2737172), which exists to promote the advancement of public education in all aspects of music. It was formed in 1992 as an alternative to a music service fully funded by Kirklees Council.
