In Big Sing and Big Sing for Mini Singers children aged 5-11 learn new songs and sing with a live band along with hundreds of other children their age.

School groups are also welcome to explore our fantastic building and watch our Royal Northern Sinfonia rehearse.

The Glasshouse understands that people learn in different ways and have different musical interests.

We have come up with ways of teaching music that support people's personal development as well as musical, designed around the needs of the person learning.

We have written this down in our Inclusive Music Making Guide and everything we do is based on that.


Through all this we connect young people with visiting artists, and we work with Music Hubs and other partners to support young people to grow in the Northeast.
