About Us
Welcome to the online home of Rotherham Music. Although much of our work is done with young people through schools, our service is dedicated to promoting and helping people of all ages in Rotherham to engage in musical activity.
Music opens up new doors
for young people, and is proven to have huge benefits to their academic learning. For those of an older age, music is a fantastic way to expand your horizons, creating artistic opportunities as well as develop new social circles.
At Rotherham Music we are passionate about offering people of any age or ability the opportunity to engage in musical activity.

Wow! Yesterday was absolutely amazing!!!
Wall to wall talent all day long across our Signals Stage and Pop Up and Play Stations and in our tent where we got to speak to so many of you about the work we do here in Rotherham teaching music in schools, developing talent and reaching out into our communities to spread the joy of music with everyone!
A huge thank you to all the bands and artists who performed. From @info.alejandromusician @kavyambhosle , Ethan Hickling, Kat Clayton, Will Harris to @junction35_band and @dantowriss_music . Big congratulations to Second Favourite and Don’t Shoot The Messenger from our Breaking through project who performed brilliantly.

We began July with Big Blast, bringing together children from schools across the borough to play and experience the joy of music.
We began this years two-day Big Blast at Winterhill School, with drums, violins, ukuleles, guitars, brass and recorders. And continued the next day with a show in front of parents at Oakwood High School featuring ukuleles, recorders and glockenspiel.
We owe a huge thank you to the children, their teachers and our own music teachers for continuing to spread the joy of music and community throughout the borough. We must also thank the parents for encouraging and allowing your children to take part in these events, showing them the true value of performing together.
Music is more important to a well rounded education than it seems, we are privileged to provide a service that can help grow confidence, skills and teamwork. We hope to continue to spread the joy and value of music for a long time, and we are so grateful that you choose to go on this journey with us.

What an incredible 2 days we had back in June when we had our yearly One Voice event at Magna. Hearing 1500 young voices performing over 2 days is such a magical experience, one we all look forward to each year.
Thank you to all of the children, our teachers, and all the teachers in schools across the borough who take part in this yearly celebration of the human voice, and as we see it, the central importance of performing TOGETHER. For our children and young people this can be transformative. It is a unique moment where we can come together in a very large event to experience the joy and power of music.
Music is so important to the development of children and young people. We are privileged to provide a service where we get to see people grow in confidence and ability over time. The connection to well being and cognitive development compliment a rounded education.
Long may we continue to spread the joy of music. Thank you to everyone for making One Voice happen with us. We feel very grateful today looking back at these wonderful photos.

Thank you to all of the children, our teachers, and all the teachers in schools across the borough who take part in this yearly celebration of the human voice, and as we see it, the central importance of performing TOGETHER. For our children and young people this can be transformative. It is a unique moment where we can come together in a very large event to experience the joy and power of music.
Music is so important to the development of children and young people. We are privileged to provide a service where we get to see people grow in confidence and ability over time. The connection to well being and cognitive development compliment a rounded education.
Long may we continue to spread the joy of music. Thank you to everyone for making One Voice happen with us. We feel very grateful today looking back at these wonderful photos.

We had an absolute blast at @rotherham_united this Saturday for their Charity Sleep Out organised by the brilliant team at @rotherhamunited_ct
We brought 5 artists, who did it for a good cause with us. Cole Foxton, Alejandro Barnett, Kavya Bhosle, Ella Walker and Lola Knight all performed so brilliantly pitch side while families played on the pitch.
Who thinks we should do this in a match day? We’d love to. What an opportunity for Rotherham’s young talented singers to get a full stadium as an audience.
Let’s see if we can make this dream come true for our young singers? Leave a comment if you’d like to see this happen too!😀

We had such fun yesterday delivering a composition workshop for the new Rotherham Opera at @wickersleyssc ! This was the final composition session working with @royalballetandopera which was a brilliant experience for us, the students and teachers.
Kathryn & Liam from Rotherham Music led on this session which was to create a special musical moment for one of the stories. This will be woven into the Opera composition by @lucymulgan for @royalballetandopera
A huge thank you to all the students who were so creative, and to the staff at Wickersley School who made us very welcome and supported us brilliantly.

We are so excited to share the second event of our collaborative Lyricist Project which we have been working on with our amazing partners at Grimm & Co.
As part of Signals 2025, Grimm & Co developed 3 songs with 7-11 year olds from Rotherham over 6 weeks of workshops. They then passed them over to us and we got 3 bands, artists and duo's to create a song from each set of lyrics.
At the Signals on 22nd Feb The Kostanzas and Ellie Human presented their amazing interpretations of two of these songs. We are now ready to resent the third and final piece, skillfully adapted for Harp and voice by two brilliant young musician's from the borough, Ajejandro Barnett (Harp) and Bridie Sutton (Voice).
We are proud to present this at Grimm & Co's incredible Festival Of Stories on 28th May. See link in Bio to reserve a place for FREE!
