Hillingdon Music Service
The Music Service is part of the Education and Children's Services Group of the London Borough of Hillingdon.

Every week 2000 young musicians have their regular instrumental and vocal lessons with the Hillingdon Music Service.

Instrumental and vocal tuition is given on a wide range of instruments in a diversity of styles: from pop guitar to classical percussion; from sitar and tabla to jazz saxophone; from popular vocal to the full range of orchestral instruments. The lessons are available in all mainstream schools with junior pupils and secondary pupils; and in special schools, and every year staff give demonstration concerts and workshops in schools to 13,000 pupils.

The service also runs 22 musical ensembles; these create 800 opportunities for young people to join choirs, bands, orchestras, and other ensembles. These activities take place on weekday evenings and at the Saturday Music Centre. Hillingdon Music Service have, in recent years, worked with some 800 Key Stage 2 pupils.
