Final Report: Round Three / April 2005-March 2006

"sound52 is part of a network of 24 Youth Music Action Zones in England and Wales providing music-making activities to 0-18 year olds who might not otherwise get the opportunity. Over 18,000 children and young people have now benefited from a sustained sound52 music experience. A fantastic achievement! "Youth Music has invested ÂŁ823,393 in sound52 since 2002. Looking to the future, Youth Music is now working with its Action Zones to ensure their long term sustainability. "Alongside the provision for young people, sound52 also commits to developing its Music Leaders, and to date has employed 100 local musicians and offered them training and development opportunities. Workforce development is one of Youth Music's priorities for 2005-10 and we are currently in the research phase for a regional training and advice hub called MusicLeader, to be launched next year. "sound52 is an organisation completely committed to the young people across Lincolnshire, and every time I visit, I have a special memory to take away with me. During my last visit, a participant from 'The Producers' project interviewed the Chief Executive of Youth Music when she arrived at Lincoln railway station. Little did we know that when she left at 5pm, she would be presented with a music track featuring none other than herself. I think this demonstrates the sound52 ethos perfectly: wide reaching; all embracing; and working with young people from all walks of life, and all ages from 1 month to 18 years. But whatever they are doing, everything is sprinkled with that most important little something - fun!" Heloise Way East Midlands Regional Co-ordinator Youth Music

"I don't think anyone could have imagined the impact sound52 was going to have on the children and young people of Lincolnshire when I entered into the research and development phase with Nikki-Kate all those years ago! "We knew that Jim O'Hara's vision for a youth service that fully engaged with arts and culture could be built upon via sound52, and that the Youth Service's creation of the East Lindsey Music Team was the forerunner of sound52. Jim keeps his head down, but what he and his Youth Service colleagues have achieved over the past two decades has to be acknowledged. "When you add the work of the Early Years sector, CfBT, the seven City, District and Borough councils, the county's arts centres, the county council's Children Looked After and Music Service colleagues, you begin to get a flavour of the possibilities of sound52. We definitely did when putting the Youth Music application together. And all this before Every Child Matters was even a twinkle in the eye of some DfES Officer! "It's about partnership. It's providing opportunities for our children and young people to realise their dreams and aspirations, or at least some of them. All 18,000 of them! "Much has been achieved. Yet current levels of funding may well be under threat. So we need to consider what sound52 has achieved over the past three years and what value we place on this. If we believe that it provides a central plank in continuing to raise aspirations and self belief, that it provides both social and musical skills, that it ensures alternative career routes can be considered and that it enables Lincolnshire's young (and their families and friends) to feel better about themselves, then we must place the resources at the door of sound52 to ensure that by 2010 over 50,000 children and young people have the opportunity to make music, to make friends and, ultimately, to make a difference." David M Lambert Arts Development Officer (Strategic) Lincolnshire County Council

"sound52 is much, much more than a community music project - although it is, of course, a textbook example of a hugely successful one. "The seeds of sound52 were sown by soundLINCS and Lincolnshire County Council in 2000; they were nurtured carefully for eighteen months by a growing Consortium of funders, partners and supporters, and began to bear fruit in August 2002. This final report is mostly concerned with counting, describing and depicting that fruit. The other story, however, is about the roots of sound52 which grow ever-deeper into the arts, social and educational infrastructure of Lincolnshire. "Groundbreaking alliances keep the root system strong and healthy; a dedicated and generous Consortium; the skillful and industrious soundLINCS staff team; creative and professional music facilitators. "Seismic changes for formal and informal music-making are the subject of a heated national debate. The shockwaves are likely to shift perceptions forever about what is possible for creative music-making in schools. soundLINCS is an enthusiastic agent for change in that debate and has forged local and national alliances so that Lincolnshire can (as usual) develop a leading role to seize the new opportunities as they arise. "So, whilst it is right that we celebrate the nourishing fruit that sound52 bears throughout Lincolnshire, it is equally right that we applaud the unseen hands that tend the soil. To summarise: no roots....no fruits!" John Stafford Associate Director, soundLINCS.

Final Report: Round Three / April 2005-March 2006

INTRODUCTION

SUMMARY

This report summarises the tremendous achievements of sound52 during Round Three, covering the period April 2005 to March 2006. It follows on from the previous two reports, which reviewed the period from the formation of sound52 in August 2002 to the end of Round Two in March 2005.

This report augments the quarterly reports already produced between April 2005 and March 2006, which have been made available to all sound52 funders and partners.

Conceived by soundLINCS and Lincolnshire County Council in 2000, sound52 continues to flourish as an ambitious, county-wide project which provides sincere music-making opportunities for toddlers, children and young people. Additionally, the project involves their parents, carers and other adults working professionally in their lives. Participation in sound52 grew substantially in Round Three, with over 1,000 more sessions provided than in either of the previous years. This growth is mirrored by the expanding team of music facilitators delivering workshops, with consequent benefits for the health and wealth of the local community, both now and for the years to come. More significantly perhaps, sound52 developed new partnerships, building bridges towards excluded individuals and groups which experience rural, social and educational isolation. 254 sessions, for example, were provided to Alternative Curriculum groups, creatively engaging 212 'hard to reach' young people. Anecdotal evidence from Youth Workers and the young people themselves describes the positive impact of music sessions upon confidence, co-operative group working and an enhanced sense of belonging. The examples very much reflect the spirit of sound52. The project is seldom content to rest on its laurels, preferring to stretch beyond its comfort zone and broaden opportunities for participation.

Acknowledgments The project wishes to acknowledge the many organisations who have worked together to realise sound52 for Lincolnshire.

Round Three of sound52 comprised active music-making across six distinct strands, as summarised below. The development and implementation of these strands reflects the experience gained during Rounds One and Two, and each is presented in more detail later in this report. First Notes: working with 3-5 year old children, their parents, carers and Early Years Practitioners in maintained and non-maintained pre-school settings. Timetable: April 2005 to March 2006 Music Sounds: working in partnership with the National Childminding Association (NCMA) to provide music workshops for childminders and children in their care, together with NCMA-accredited training seminars. Timetable: January 2006 to February 2006 Second Sounds: working with 6-11 year old children during out-of-school hours in primary schools and Kids Clubs. Working with settings whose pupils are identified as having Special or Additional Needs. Timetable: September 2005 to March 2006 HeatUp!: working with 12-18 year old young people within youth centres, arts centres and other community settings, developing participation through contemporary popular music, Junk Groove, DJ Skills and vocals. Establishing an Alternative Curriculum programme and working with Round 2 HeatUp! bands to further develop their skills. Timetable: April 2005 to March 2006 Burn52: working with young rock and pop bands to develop instrumental and vocal skills which culminated in a series of live performances at Youth Centres and Lincolnshire Arts Centres. Timetable: June 2005 and March 2006 The Producers: working with teenagers to explore the potential of digital music technology based around laptop computers. Establishing a Lincolnshire Loop Library and creating original tracks for CD production. Timetable: February 2006 Round Three continued the sound52 positive recruitment process by creating heightened opportunities for musicians wishing to develop their skills in planning and delivering participatory music workshops across all age and ability groups. 25 new facilitators were inducted during Round Three, bringing the total number of musicians who have obtained regular paid work with sound52 to over 80. Highlights from the project's workforce development programme and wider social and economic impact are given on pages 19-21. 6

Final Report: Round Three / April 2005-March 2006

FIRST NOTES Each residency comprises six sessions, usually at weekly intervals, and the project's team of specialist pre-school facilitators has delivered a total of 1,566 music workshops in 233 settings, working with some 5,151 children, plus their carers and practitioners. The First Notes Resource Pack published during Round Two, which draws on the pooled experience, research and ideas of the First Notes team, continues to be well-received. Each setting is presented with a complimentary copy on completion of their residency and the pack is also offered nationally for a nominal charge, attracting enquiries from all over the UK.

QUOTES QUOTES 'Thank you to our facilitator and the soundLINCS team for a very enjoyable and successful series of music workshops. The children very much benefited from having the large range of instruments to choose from. Parental response was good too!' Early Years Practitioner (BBC) 'Once again soundLINCS has provided a unique and stimulating six weeks. Our children thoroughly enjoyed the musical experience, and the staff learnt some new techniques and songs. First Notes is a great way to start young children on the road to enjoying and understanding simple aspects of the world of music.' Early Years Practitioner (ELDC) 'We would like to thank the facilitator for all her hard work and enthusiasm. The children and staff really enjoyed each session and the sessions with the handmade toys showed the children that there are other options than shop-bought instruments. The whole experience was brilliant and we would recommend it to everyone.' Early Years Practitioner (LinCC) 'Excellent workshops with some very good ideas which we are able to continue and develop thanks to the Resource Pack provided.' Early Years Practitioner (NKDC)

'We are delighted with our First Notes residency. Reception children are excited to attend the lessons and love our facilitator. They respond with enthusiasm and are learning such a lot. We will be very sad to lose his expertise and wonderful ability to get the most out of the children. We are disappointed that we can't share him and his good work with other classes who we know would benefit. We are looking forward to our parents coming to our concert in the last lesson, and so are they!' Early Years Practitioner (SKDC)

MUSIC SOUNDS Accredited training seminars for childminders and opportunities for the children in their care to explore participatory music-making are bound together in Music Sounds, a new initiative launched by sound52 during Round Three. Run in partnership with the National Childminding Association (NCMA), and building on the success of the First Notes programme, Music Sounds comprises structured workshops for groups of childminders and children - usually in the 0-3 age range - plus dedicated training sessions for the childminders. Here, fundamental musical concepts like rhythm and pulse, dynamics and pitch are explored alongside the wider social and educational benefits of creative music-making within a group environment. Each childminder who participated in the project received free musical instruments. Music Sounds has been piloted in seven settings and discussions are ongoing with the NCMA to extend the project in Round Four.

STATS Music Sounds delivered seven residencies to six districts between January and February 2006. 21 workshop sessions involved 114 children and 74 childminders 9

QUOTES ''We really enjoyed it - great fun, we learnt a lot!' Childminder (NKDC) 'What a wonderful workshop! Suggestion was to have workshops once a week or fortnight etc. I strongly agree with this. We need more music in our life - especially the children! Hope we meet again very soon.' Childminder (NKDC) 'Thank you, we all really enjoyed the workshops very much!' Childminder (NKDC)

'We would like more sessions with the children in attendance or maybe a regular group locally to attend.' Childminder (NKDC) 'We enjoyed the experience. It gave me lots of ideas and made me realise that there are things that you can do with even one year olds. It was good to have the chance to bring the children for sessions so you can see how it works in practice and not just in theory. Thank you for the experience.' Childminder (LinCC) 'Fabulous that children were included in workshops, which enabled perfect interaction.' Childminder (SKDC) 'Brilliant!' Childminder (SHDC) 'I loved this course - thank you!

Final Report: Round Three / April 2005-March 2006

SECOND SOUNDS Created to enhance music provision in mainstream primary schools and Additional Needs settings throughout the county, each residency is a block of seven hour-long sessions for up to 20 children, held usually after-hours on school premises. Shared musical experiences have covered a diversity of genres, ranging from the development of vocal and digital compositional skills to hand drumming, junk music and contemporary rock and pop. Phase Three of the project (March 2006) was a partnership with Children's Links and its Junior Youth Inclusion Project (JYIP). Seven groups were involved, each working with a music facilitator to write and record an original song. The songs were collected together on an audio CD, and copies provided for all participants.

QUOTES 'The tutor interacted extremely well at all times and levels with the group. The whole group produced a wonderful end of sessions performance to the school and parents.' Primary School Teacher (BBC) 'The children really enjoyed working with the facilitator over the six week period - it was especially nice for the children to work with a male leader who was able to convey that making music is a really 'cool' thing. The children grew in confidence and enjoyed all of the activities. Thank you to the facilitator and everyone else involved in sound52.' Primary School Teacher (BBC) 'The facilitator was excellent with the group of children she had. Interest and stimulation was good, discipline and manner was good, content was appropriate, and the final performance was an excellent showcase for the range of music. The audience were suitably impressed, especially with the professionalism of it all.' Primary School Teacher (NKDC) 'The children were inspired by the tutor who related so well to them. Very flexible and adjusted well to the children's needs.' Primary School Teacher (NKDC)

HEAT UP! Based firmly in the community, using venues like Arts Centres and Youth Centres, the HeatUp! project provided a broad variety of music-making opportunities for young people in the 12 to 18 age group throughout Round Three.

Contemporary Popular Music (CPM), Vocal Production and Junk Groove were joined by new DJ Skills workshops, introduced in response to demand from young people and run by a team of specialist facilitators. Each series of DJ workshops comprises 20x 2 hour sessions, introducing basic techniques like mixing and beat-matching, and moving on to more advanced skills such as scratching, turntablism and choosing set lists. Round Three extended HeatUp! into two new areas: Alternative Curriculum and CPM Development Groups. The project worked in partnership with Entry to Employment (E2E), Solutions4 and XL to deliver 254 sessions which creatively engaged 212 'hard to reach' young people. The CPM Development programme offered opportunities for Round Two bands to further develop their skills and broaden the knowledge and experience of the music business. Throughout HeatUp! the ethos remains the same: promoting creativity and expression through music whilst fostering a sense of group responsibility.

Evaluation by Participants Do you feel you have achieved anything? Improved confidence Better socialising skills Singing in tune Learning to play along with others More courage A lot of fun!

'On behalf of the SOVA Tuesday club, I would like to thank soundLINCS for the work you have done with us over the last few years. Through soundLINCS, many young people have had the opportunity to enjoy music and to perform on stage. It is a wonderful opportunity for the young people and we have noticed a marked increase in selfconfidence and self-esteem in those who have participated. We have also discovered some previously unknown musical talent!' Youth Worker (LinCC)

'The young people's selfconfidence has grown tremendously since the beginning of the rock and pop residency. The music facilitator has enabled the young people to express themselves in a way that we thought we'd never see.' Youth Worker (BBC) 'The Make Poverty History Gig, which was supported by sound52 and the CPM Development Scheme, was a brilliant success. The young people's bands played to a full house at Spilsby Theatre and the feedback from parents and other theatre-goers was fantastic. The two facilitators worked above and beyond the call of duty and this was noted by the parents who have, along with the Youth Service, sung their praises. A letter of appreciation will be going to them personally from the Area Development Worker in recognition of their achievements as well as appreciation.' Youth Worker, CPM Development Group (ELDC)

'The sound52 HeatUp! sessions have improved the young people's self-esteem and given them the confidence to perform.' Youth Worker (NKDC) 'Without sound52, the young people would find it hard to find music-making opportunities. It's the best thing that's ever happened to our Youth Centre!' Youth Worker (SHDC) 'We are absolutely delighted! Some of the young people on XL have really developed their skills, and their confidence has rocketed.'

Final Report: Round Three / April 2005-March 2006

BURN52 As Round Two drew to a close, seven HeatUp! bands were rehearsing for a series of regional gigs which took place at the beginning of Round Three (June 2005) under the Burn52 banner. By the time the next Burn52 came around in March 2006, the number of participating bands had grown to 16, covering a variety of genres, including contemporary rock and pop, vocals and Junk Groove. The March performances took place at three Arts Centres equipped with professional sound and lighting systems, giving participants an invaluable insight into the realities of live performance. Equally importantly however, the events gave the young musicians the opportunity to demonstrate their enthusiasm to family, friends and the community, and to give the audience the chance to see - and hear - just what young people can accomplish given professional facilities and guidance.

QUOTES Evaluation by Participants Do you feel you have achieved anything? 'I think I have got more confidence because now I know what it feels like.' 'Yes, it gave me confidence.' 'I felt that I became more confident and also more patient with myself and with others.' Q. What has been the most rewarding experience of this project? 'The most rewarding thing for me would be that soundLINCS have got a group of my close friends and made us into a band which is amazing because music and friendship is all I need.' 'Being able to sing in front of everyone as a group.' 'The ace feedback from everyone and the fun from performing.' 'Playing to a real audience at a decent venue.' 'It was just a fun experience and a privilege to take part.' Q. What would you like to be involved in next? 'Personally I would love to help soundLINCS if I could. When the music facilitator told me that he teaches young children and disabled children to play music I couldn't think of anything more rewarding. I write, play, listen and enjoy music all day everyday anyway. Why shouldn't I share my talent?'

THE PRODUCERS

QUOTES Evaluation by Participants 'I'd like to write in thanks for The Producers 2006 project. I enjoyed the project considerably, and I've learned lots about sampling and looping, especially on Apple Macs.'

Seven groups of Lincolnshire teenagers with a passion for using digital technology to create music took part in The Producers during February 2006 half-term. This was an innovative pilot project devised to introduce young people to the challenges of recording and editing original material.

'Top quality equipment! I really enjoyed it! Definitely no negatives!'

Using professional recording equipment under the tutelage of specialist music facilitators, the participants visited HeatUp! workshops to collect musical and environmental sounds. These were recorded on to laptop computers, edited into original samples and loops and used as the raw material to create original pieces. The new work was collected on a compilation CD and distributed to all participants.

Photo: The Producers, Feb 06

'I absolutely loved The Producers project and it'd be cool to do it again! The Producer was great!' 'I really enjoyed The Producers project - particularly the equipment! Would love to do it again, and maybe bring in some of my own samples.'

The pilot proved so over-subscribed that sound52 is broadening the scheme, making it a regular feature of the county's musical landscape.

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT sound52 continued to prioritise recruitment and training opportunities in Round Three, and its achievements can be summarised in four strands. Strand One: Recruitment 25 music facilitators were recruited during Round Three, bringing the total workforce to over 80. The recruits brought a diverse array of skills and experience with them and include professional DJs: all attended a comprehensive Core Induction process, which is recognised county-wide as a model of good practice, and seven First Notes music facilitators also attended an induction specific to Early Years practice delivered by sound52 partners Children's Links. In addition, the project invited seven facilitators to participate in the established 'buddying' scheme, creating opportunities to gain specific knowledge or experience before moving on to regular paid work.

Strand Four: Training, Resources and Mapping Programme Leader This new post was established in Round Three and underlines the commitment of sound52 to Workforce Development and its wider responsibilities to project participants. The Programme Leader's time is divided thus: - Developing a strategic sound52 training programme for music facilitators - Consulting with facilitators about their training needs - Arranging recruitment, training and sharing events - Mapping formal and informal music-making opportunities for young people - Developing a sound52 young person's forum The Programme Leader has commenced activity in every area, all of which will be completed during Round Four.

'Our Music Lady was excellent - the best we have had. She was brilliant with the children, had lovely ideas and was extremely enthusiastic throughout. We'd love to welcome her here again next year!' Early Years Practitioner (ELDC) 'The sound52 music facilitator is absolutely brilliant with our Solutions4 Group. They are all excluded from school for various reasons and are difficult to motivate. The facilitator somehow manages to get the best out of them and I can't praise him highly enough.' Youth Worker, Alternative Curriculum Group, (LinCC)

'I found the facilitator to be friendly, stimulating - providing a varied programme each week - whilst also able to maintain control. The children thoroughly enjoyed the workshops - as did the staff!' Early Years Practitioner (SHDC)

A major benefit of these events is to create introductions between recently-recruited facilitators, the established team and sound52 staff.

'The sound52 music facilitator has been working with a group of young men suffering from ADHD for about twelve weeks now and their commitment to this project has been exceptional. Usually it's hard to focus their concentration on anything for long periods of time.' Youth Worker (ELDC)

'I would like to thank the facilitator and soundLINCS for the organisation and the professionalism of the workshops. We all had a fabulous time!' Early Years Practitioner (NKDC)

Strand Two: Training and Sharing Events Six days were arranged, comprising four full days and four half days. Topics ranged from project- specific learning (Early Age Conference, First Notes, Childminders project, Seconds Sounds, HeatUp! and The Producers) to general interest topics (musical games/activities, behaviour management techniques and equipment set-up procedures).

Strand Three: Monitoring soundLINCS endeavours to arrange a monitoring visit to each music facilitator during the year, and 50 such visits were achieved during Round Three. The monitoring is viewed as an opportunity to support a facilitator's professional practice and to explore realistic avenues of development with them. Monitoring also enables sound52 staff to directly experience the work going on across the county, maintaining relationships with music facilitators and setting representatives alike. This is backed by extensive informal support and advice to facilitators by telephone, e-mail and post.

QUOTES 'I am very happy with HeatUp! The sound52 facilitators managed to get some very difficult youths communicating within one session. It's really pulled people together and they've been making some great music!' Youth Worker, Alternative Curriculum Group (BBC)

'The sound52 music facilitator has been incredibly patient and really moved a rather difficult group of young people on.' Youth Worker (SKDC) 'The playgroup found the facilitator to be a very approachable, likeable person. She always came in with a smile and both children and adults had a great experience.'

Final Report: Round Three / April 2005-March 2006

SOCIAL & ECONOMIC IMPACT sound52 is creating a significant impact throughout Lincolnshire and earning a reputation nationwide as a sincere and high quality participatory music project. Simultaneously, soundLINCS is recognised as a resourceful, professional and informed Music Development Agency and receives frequent invitations to contribute to the national debate regarding the present and future of Community Music. This year these have included meetings with David Lammy (DCMS Minister for Culture) and Marc Jaffries (Music Manifesto champion), together with regular discussions at the executive level of Sound Sense (UK Development Agency for Community Music). sound52 has developed strong partnerships to develop a service for Alternative Curriculum groups and the quotes provided within this report confirm the positive social and educational impact which music creates.

STATS The positive effect on the economy of the region has been significant. sound52 has contracted services from predominantly Lincolnshire-based businesses,consultants, freelance specialists and music facilitators.

Inspiration for young (and not so young!) music-makers comes, of course, primarily from the music facilitators, and quotes in this report emphasise admiration, esteem and appreciation of their talents. sound52 facilitators have delivered over 3,000 workshops during Round Three. sound52 is regularly invited to make presentations of its work to local, regional and national conferences exploring creativity within Early Years, Youth Culture and Arts Development. The project is keen to seize these opportunities, viewing them as powerful advocacy tools and believing that this profile contributes to a sustainable future for participatory music-making in Lincolnshire. This approach is supported by a positive marketing and press relations programme, which secures significant coverage in local, regional and national media.

'There has been a significant improvement in the students' overall attitude resulting from their growth in confidence and ability to work together. We have also seen an improvement in all round education as self-worth has grown.' Youth Worker, Alternative Curriculum Group (BBC)

commitments and looked forward to the evening when he could come to the Youth Centre and play the bass guitar. During these sessions, he communicated and got on well with the rest of the group and also helped to write songs and lyrics.

much. She had a wonderful attitude (and) way with the children. She was firm when necessary but also very fair - the children loved her! We all had such fun and enjoyed the residency very much. Thank you so very much for allowing us to have our third residency - we feel so lucky and very grateful.' Early Years Practitioner (WLDC)

'We have a young Portuguese lad at the Youth Centre who rarely speaks to anyone. Now he's expressing himself on the drums and has even started to sing lead vocals for the band!' Youth Worker (BBC) 'One of the participants on the HeatUp! programme began as a very disengaged young person. Over the course of the residency, he has become more communicative, and is now going on to work on the Duke of Edinburgh award.' Youth Worker (ELDC)

'If our Youth Centre can continue with HeatUp!, can we please have the same facilitators? They are the best and I wish to be able to continue learning with them. I have learnt loads more on the drums and also some bass guitar. So could we please have the same facilitators back? Thank you for reading this letter.' HeatUp! Participant (SHDC)

'The sound52 project has been a valuable addition to our programme. We work with young people who struggle academically and the HeatUp! sessions have provided a creative output for these young people.' Youth Worker, Alternative Curriculum Group (LinCC)

'Workshop 6, where the children performed all the music they had learnt in the first 5 weeks, was extremely well attended by parents/carers. Our 12 children in the Foundation Stage performed to a packed audience of 19 parents/carers (nearly a full house!) Many parents commented afterwards that the workshops had been well-received by their children and that their child's confidence in making music and performing has grown. This increase in confidence was apparent in other ways, such as increased confidence in speaking out loud to adults!' Early Years Practitioner (SKDC)

APPENDICES

Final Report: Round Three / April 2005-March 2006

APPENDIX A: EXTERNAL EVALUATION SUMMARY At the outset of this evaluation it was clear that soundLINCS had a wide range of aims and outcomes for the sound52 project. Each programme and element of sound52 has thrown up different issues and basis for evaluation. However, this diversity and complexity has not shrouded the project in any way, on the contrary, in many cases it has been possible to analyse and validate the structure and context of the project by the objective fact a great deal of the musical content delivered and produced was done so under observation, in the environment for which it was designed and intended. The overall picture that emerges from the sound52 project is not simply of a region bristling with participatory music activity of all kinds, but of one that is undergoing change and in some cases self-improvement through music-making as a central theme. There is evidence of a multitude of different artistic and socio-cultural, technical and workforce development collaborations taking place, among different age groups, across genres, musical styles and in every strand of the project. It is a project about music-making not simply for the love of music, but to stimulate the understanding of practice and engagement with music in others, and in that sense sound52 is truly far-reaching and inspirational. soundLINCS is now, in many ways, rooting its position as a regional music centre for training, education and performance, for Lincolnshire and arguably the East Midlands. This notion of a regional centre is characterised not only by the many components which run through sound52, whether it be music-making, instrument loan schemes, sector research and workforce development, youth bands or other kind of ensemble, but by the individuals who often lead on these various strands of activity.

soundLINCS continues to ensure the sound52 project has access to a coherent team of project managers, local music facilitators, researchers, producers and instrument or sound technology tutors, who have, through the observation of settings and sessions, demonstrated vision and drive, ambition for young people, local pride and above all a wonderful enthusiasm for music-making. This enthusiasm provides a platform from which young people are encouraged to value music-making through participation and then launch into their own forms of music-making and engagement with others. This work takes place in real communities where the young people exist, often including disadvantaged or marginalised neighbourhoods, as well as involving unrepresented groups. The young people engage with education-based activity, in and out of school, which, when combined, offers examples of how making music can contribute to the development of social and cultural capital in these local communities. sound52 has become a reflection of young people's social capital, their beliefs, values, knowledge and skills; it is a project which stands for the very ethos to be found in numerous political and social agendas today, across not just the East Midlands, but across the UK and as such this evaluation acknowledges soundLINCS as an important catalyst for cultural development.

Matthew Blades is the Programme Leader for the Foundation Degree in Cultural Events Management at Bishop Grosseteste University College Lincoln. He has worked extensively in both higher and further education and was previously the Director of Operations & Development at S4T, a professional development agency for the creative and cultural industries (CCI) across Scotland.

Residency statistics grouped by District Music Sounds was a pilot project in partnership with the National Childminding Association (NCMA). Each residency comprised two sessions with Childminders and children and one session for Childminders to work together as an adult group.
