CONNECT!
A series of short tutorials to support young musicians with their practice and performance
WELCOME!
______
We are The Stringcredibles!
Background
As a small music charity we have been developing connections between musicians and audiences since 2014. At the heart of our work is a quartet of professional musicians who work creatively with young people and those who facilitate their music education.
Based in Birmingham, our work is largely with schools and communities within the West Midlands, with our main focus being on primary aged children.
Through connecting our performances with the wider education curriculum and with children’s everyday life experiences we make live, classical music approachable and relevant to all.
It is our belief that every child has the right to a rich musical life and all the benefits to wellbeing, belonging and creativity that brings.
Mission
Our mission is to spread the joy of music through live performances that create moments of awe and connection.
Vision
We strongly believe in the power of music to transform lives. Our vision is more children flourishing through their connection with music.

OUR VALUES
______
1. Inspirational Discovery
Our ambitious musical adventures inspire and empower everyone who takes part.
2. Playful
We use the power of play to challenge expectations and create learning that is joyful, fun, and engaging for all.
3. Nurturing
We create welcoming and safe environments where we and our learners can explore and experiment with music together.
4. Thoughtful and Intentional
Behind everything we do sits a clear rationale; there is a reason for every detail.
5. Supporting Community and Partnership
Working together across schools and the wider community, we collaborate to build long-term partnerships that support and enhance music education.
Strategic Priorities
We have three strategic priorities currently:
- Impact
We will deliver programmes and workshops that have impact on our audiences. We will measure that impact through evaluation of the work we do.
- Inclusion
We will continue to strive to make sure all of our experiences are inclusive and will focus our attention on outreach that enables us to work with those communities and children who are unlikely to have access to live classical music.
- Connection
We will broaden the reach and impact of the work we do by connecting and collaborating with other musicians and members of the musical community, as well as educational organisations.
