We participated in a session with musicians from Jessie’s Fund. Learners had such fun whilst working hard on their communication, anticipation, investigation, curiosity and discovery skills! Our learners thoroughly enjoyed the day, as did the staff.
Transforming learning through music
Jessie’s Fund’s Schools Programme brings professional musicians into specialist schools to run long-term, creative music projects.
Who's it for?
Who We Support and Why It Matters
The programme helps children develop confidence, coordination, and communication skills through shared music-making. Teachers benefit from ongoing mentoring and classroom strategies that last beyond the project.
Jessie’s Fund is amazing. I had the opportunity to work with them at James Rennie School. It’s not just the kids that enjoy it, we all do too. We love seeing how much the kids get from it, and it’s fun for us too. Can’t wait for them to come back again!

About the Programme
The programme includes structured learning and support for teachers, providing the skills and confidence to use music in the classroom.
Our musicians are experts at involving children, whatever their abilities. We show staff how to use a wide range of composition techniques, instruments and visual stimuli to create music with children who have a range of complex needs.
Our approach is responsive and flexible, but we often use these structures:
– One-day taster workshops
– Five-day creative projects
– Year-long staff development projects
