Schools and Training

The London Philharmonic Orchestra’s Education & Community Department works with children, young people and teachers to support music education from Key Stage 1 to A Level. We offer projects and experiences that enrich learning, through live concerts and creative workshops, as well as CPD opportunities and resources for teachers to develop their creative practice.

Our programme is run in partnership with the Music Education Hubs of Lambeth, Southwark, Lewisham and Royal Greenwich, who recommend our participant schools and support the ongoing development of our work.
