Join in with hundreds of schools across our region in recording 1 minute of live music in your class to be part of our exclusive live stream provided by Heart of England Music Hub
We are pleased to announce that after a hugely successful live digital event in 2025, on Friday 20th March we will be hosting a one-minute music showcase on YouTube. Submissions will come from schools, music service groups, individual pupils and music organisations across the Hub region. Every half an hour 10 new videos showcasing local young talent will be released on the Heart of England YouTube, creating a fantastic playlist of talent across the region.
You can watch the live feed live on our YouTube channel. Watch all the 2025 videos here
The event is all about everyone coming together to celebrate music education pathways and opportunities across the hub region and share their amazing work. It is a great way to enable pupils and families to see the opportunities across the region and to see they are just one of many pupils learning instruments. We want to encourage all young people to watch the videos and if a music group looks exciting, for them to get in touch and give it a go!
We are excited to be showcasing lots of our schools, individuals and music groups from across Coventry, Warwickshire and Solihull, and from our partner organisations.
