Context Noise Solution presents as a music organisation, but music is just a vehicle. We are, in fact, an organisation that is interested in and focused on improving well-being. Working with populations often unfairly labelled ‘hardest to reach’, we are not traditional music teachers and we don’t provide music lessons on scales or notation. We may make beats and produce songs, but we music mentor in a very speci c way designed to improve motivation and well-being. Why is well-being important? Because, increased well-being is a well-evidenced determinant of better engagement, health, social and educational outcomes. Since 2009, Noise Solution has delivered one-to-one music mentoring (and latterly in group-work contexts) to young people facing all sorts of challenges around engagement, mental health, education and motivation.
What began with the
recognition that many young people were being failed by
services has grown into an evidence-driven delivery pedagogy underpinned by signi cant research and understanding into what works and crucially why it works. Using evidenced frameworks is essential to our understanding of our practice and improving well-being.
