Cluster programme
The 'Tuning in to Children' training framework supported Youth Music's early years Cluster Programme. Find out more about the Cluster Programme here.
Youth Music's early years Cluster Programme funded seven different Clusters across England, to explore models of training for music making in the early years. Under the guidance of a music leader, it brought together orchestral players, musicians and early years practitioners in Sure Start Children's Centres for 12 week programmes of music-making.
In this section, find out more about how the Cluster Programme operated, along with details on each Cluster, and the evaluation findings.
