Immersive Learning

For over two decades Music Worldwide have been delivering immersive learning workshops and education programmes for schools, further education colleges and universities, as well as combined audience workshops at festivals, conferences and other event sectors. Musical discovery and cultural encounters lies at the heart of our work.


Our workshops and curriculum-linked projects for schools aim to develop children and young people’s insights into, and engagement with, art forms and cultural traditions from around the world.


Our extensive artist network enables a huge choice of workshop styles and formats, which can, and often does, include supporting contextual materials like teacher reference packs and classroom lesson plan guides.


We deliver our workshops in all of the following settings:


  • Primary Schools (inc. Early Years/ Nursery)
  • Secondary Schools (inc. GCSE input)
  • Special Needs Schools and Organisations
