Who is Codi'r To?

Our aim is to provide inspiration and transformation for children, families, schools and communities, changing lives for the better through music. We deliver weekly music sessions to over 500 pupils including after school clubs, samba club, community performances, annual Birthday Concerts, school holiday clubs, take a musician home for tea concerts and opportunities for pupils to enjoy performances by professional musicians and orchestras. "I think it is a brilliant programme and has given my son a sense of achievement, confidence and being part of a team." - Quote from a parent

Why the community needs us
Music has the power to transform young lives. The primary objective of all El Sistema projects is to achieve social change through music. The Codi'r To project challenges deprivation, raising expectations and supporting participants as they learn to believe in their own abilities and recognise their own potential. With regular participation in music from an early age we aim to raise levels of confidence, aspiration, pride and happiness.
