Live-A-Music (Liverpool)

Live-A-Music (Liverpool) is an independent group of highly qualified and experienced musicians who offer one-off educational workshops and concerts, short 'residencies' in schools (all ages), and longer community collaborations with student and adult groups in a wide range of settings, often culminating in a full performance of music largely devised by the participants themselves.
We do not assume previous musical experience and we can provide all necessary equipment and instruments.
Our work is frequently tailored to national curriculum requirements.
