Love Music: In Harmony Liverpool
In Harmony Liverpool’s vision is a healthier, higher achieving future for North Liverpool.
About In Harmony Liverpool
Launched on 9 March 2009, 84 primary aged children began learning musical instruments, formed the West Everton Children’s Orchestra, and 12 weeks later made their debut performance at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall.
In 2019, we expanded the project into Anfield, increasing our weekly reach to more than 1,500 young people aged 0-18 years.
In Harmony Liverpool is making a positive difference to our children and families, and that by working together with schools and community partners we can achieve much more.
The result is that making music, learning a musical instrument, singing, creating, listening and being part of an orchestra that rehearses and performs throughout the community and in venues such as Liverpool Philharmonic Hall is now a normal part of life.
The life-changing results of In Harmony
The results of In Harmony have been consistently positive. Children become more self-confident, more resilient and more independent. They concentrate more, work effectively as teams, and support one another to achieve their common goals as a community of musicians. Children feel empowered and equipped with the necessary skills and aspiration to succeed in whatever they strive to achieve.
In Harmony not only creates opportunities for young people, but puts them in a position to make active and informed choices about their own future.
"It gives you new opportunities so that you can earn a better living, live a happy life."

The effect of Covid-19 lock-down on the project
In Harmony Liverpool has continued throughout the Covid-19 lockdown period, providing much-needed routine and music tuition during a challenging year. Throughout summer 2020, we delivered one-to-one online tuition for 97 In Harmony children, with over 400 lessons, and provided other online materials for all our schools, with over 270 videos available to the 1,500 children on the programme. We have also developed a series of online play-along backing tracks for the purposes of home practise, accessed via YouTube.
These lessons have been a valuable opportunity to encourage independence and to build stronger relationships with parents. Our musicians have reported increased independent home practise and have been able to stretch and challenge musical goals of students.
Support In Harmony Liverpool
Your support will enable over 1,500 children and their families to make music through In Harmony each year. With your help, we are confident that we can make a positive difference to the lives of children and families in North Liverpool.
"It gives you inspiration. Maybe I will be a musician, maybe not. It doesn’t matter – I have more confidence now to do things that I thought I couldn’t do."
