Music leaders, managers, practitioners, partners, parents/carers and young people from across the southeast came together to records a series of podcasts focused on inclusion in music – listen to the series here:

Episode 1: More than the sum of our parts

Chaired by Dr Marusa Levstek, this podcast was created from conversations between OFM programme leads, music practitioners and young people taking part in the programme, discussing the benefits of working strategically across a region.

Episode 2: What is Inclusion Really?

We increasingly hear this term 'inclusive music', but what does it really mean, who is it for, and what does it look like in practice? In this episode, Inclusion Manager at Kent Music Luke Crook talks to music leaders working in inclusive settings about their interpretation and practice.

Episode 3: The Next Generation Workforce

How do we ensure that the next generation workforce in inclusive music settings reflect the diverse communities we serve? 

In this podcast Inclusion Manager at Surrey Music Hub, Jim Pinchen, talks to two music leaders with very different experiences of joining the inclusive workforce about what helped, and what hindered them. We explore what we can do as a sector to encourage diverse practitioners to get involved.
