Sound It Out

Homepage

Mission Statement: Sound It Out (SIO) offers dynamic and vibrant music opportunities, by connecting people who have little opportunity to make music with musicians who want to inspire them and new audiences who want to hear them. Description: Sound It Out (SIO) is a social development agency and registered charity that has a strong track record in transforming people’s lives and creating a positive difference in communities through music. Created in 1992, SIO has a long and successful history of diverse music programming for high priority target groups and individuals isolated from mainstream society. We work across four key sectors: Children and Young People (1), Cohesion (2), Professional Development (3), and Wellbeing (4). Our success is based on the belief that music is the universal language of engagement and inspires us all. Through a diverse range of innovative programmes Sound It Out engages with a wide range of people and communities including children and young people, people with a physical disability, mental health service users, refugees, new migrant communities and individuals isolated from mainstream society. Sound It Out has built a reputation for developing and delivering sustained high quality, high impact programmes. These are delivered to be inclusive and supportive for the participants involved, and to encourage participation, learning, creativity and achievement. The programmes Sound It Out creates are many and varied, and include a range of methods of engagement from group music making sessions, music master classes or workshops through to bespoke training courses and events or individualised song writing and recording sessions.
